This is a great meal that tastes very fresh. I used to eat this a lot when I could eat pita bread, but since going gluten free and not having found a gluten free pita bread, I've really missed it! I hope you like this one as much as I have.
Ingredients:
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2-1 teaspoon dried basil
pesto sauce (optional)
2 cups shredded red leaf lettuce or 2 cups romaine lettuce
4 (6 inch) pita breads, halved
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the chicken, cucumber, tomato, lettuce and onions.
2. In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, sugar and basil; mix well.
3. Add pesto if you desire; as little or as much as you would like.
4. Pour over chicken mixture and toss to coat.
5. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture into each pita half.
