Chicken Pita Lunch

My aversion to making lunches took a backseat today as I had some sort of inspiration which resulted in this.

3 small pitas
1 cup cooked, sliced chicken
some shredded cheese (cheddar here)
arugula
a few paper-thin slices of sweet potato
olive oil
black pepper

Béchamel sauce with garlic:

1 tbsp margarine or butter
1 tbsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
pinch pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 garlic clove, minced

Heat the marg in a saucepan and add the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk in the milk, continuing until slightly thickened. Stir in the minced garlic.

Lay the pitas on a lined baking sheet and spread with béchamel. Add the chicken, cheese and sweet potato slices. Drizzle with some olive oil and add a few grinds of fresh ground pepper.

Pop in a 400 F oven for 5-10 minutes. Remove and immediately top with a handful of arugula.

We don't usually have lunches like this here, more along the lines of a pb sandwich, or grab a tomato from the garden. Or if you're really lucky you'll find some leftovers from last night in the fridge.
