o-Bag Chicken Caesar Pita Pockets

"Create a portable, 20-minute dinner called Run Go-Bag Chicken Caesar Pita Pockets, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘Run.’ Vibe: headlights, hush, we’ll leave the lights on—clean, bright, handheld.Core: warm whole-wheat (or white) pita pockets; rotisserie chicken (shredded) or drained/rinsed chickpeas (veg option); crisp romaine ribbons; shaved or grated Parmesan; plenty of black pepper; halved cherry tomatoes (optional).Dressing (simple, no raw egg): mayo (or Greek yogurt), lemon juice + zest, Dijon, grated Parmesan, 1 small grated garlic clove, Worcestershire or anchovy paste (optional but classic), olive oil, salt/pepper.Crunch: quick skillet garlic “crouton crumbs” (panko tossed in olive oil + pinch garlic powder, toasted until golden).Method: whisk dressing; toss chicken (or chickpeas) with 1–2 Tbsp dressing. In a bowl, combine romaine, more dressing to lightly coat, Parm, and black pepper. Warm pitas (skillet or toaster); split to make pockets. Stuff: a layer of dressed chicken/chickpeas → romaine salad → cherry tomatoes → sprinkle of crouton crumbs.Serve: wrap in parchment/foil for the road; lemon wedges on the side.Include: yield 4 pockets; total time ~20 minutes; exact amounts (cups/grams); step-by-step; anti-sog tip (pack components separately if traveling; add crumbs at the last second).Swaps: gluten-free (GF pitas or wraps), dairy-free (DF mayo + DF Parm), vegetarian (chickpeas), lighter (half yogurt/half mayo), extra-protein (crispy bacon bits), and no-fish option (skip Worcestershire/anchovy).Plating: clean, overstuffed pockets with pale-green romaine, snowy Parm, and golden crumb ‘gravel’—ready to run, fully home-kitchen accessible"
