The tender chicken mixture that's tucked into these pita pockets has a cumin zip and refreshing cucumber-and-yogurt flavor. A favorite at my house, this sandwich is great alone or served with soup or salad, Mitzi Sentiff writes from Annapolis, Maryland
Ingredients:
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped seeded cucumber
2 green onions, sliced
4 pita breads (6 inches), halved
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 10-12 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove; thinly sliced chicken and cool.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, cumin and cayenne; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cucumber, onions and chicken.
3. Drizzle with yogurt mixture; toss to coat. Microwave pita breads for 15-20 seconds or until warmed. Fill each half with 1/2 cup chicken mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
