Here's a tasty way to use up leftover roast chicken. Dark meat stands up to the intense flavors in the dressing. For a change, try using a wrap or naan instead of a pita. Ingredients:
1 cup shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken thigh or drumstick meat |
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions |
2 tablespoons thin red bell pepper strips |
2 tablespoons peanut satay sauce (such as thai kitchen) |
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon chile paste with garlic (optional) |
1 (6-inch) whole-wheat pita, cut in half |
1/2 cup fresh mung bean sprouts, rinsed, drained, and patted dry |
2 tablespoons diagonally-cut carrot |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 5 ingredients, tossing well to coat. Stir in chile paste, if desired. Fill each pita half with about 1/2 cup chicken mixture, 1/4 cup bean sprouts, 1 tablespoon carrot, and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
