MAGGIE'S SUPER HEALTHY CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN SALAD PITA SANDWICH

I threw this together on a warm night when I didn't feel like cooking and wanted something cool and healthy but also filling. I was amazed at how low calorie this turned out and also how much I enjoyed it. I hope you do, too! You can easily substitute the pitas with tortillas to make these more like wraps, and there's plenty of flexibility to add or subtract ingredients (like maybe red onion or fresh basil for example - warmed up with a little feta cheese melted inside is not at all bad, either, I've learned). With the 4 servings, each serving will either stuff a half of a pita super full or be just enough for 1 whole pita cut in two filled not quite so full. Your choice.

CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN SANDWICHES

You can use any type of bread or roll for this sandwich. We like the ciabatta, but have used other breads and rolls, whatever I might have handy. You can also pan fry the chicken if you can't get to a grill.-Debbie Speckmeyer, Lakewood, California

Healthy eating everyone!

Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwich/Pita image

Steps:

  • Run your knife through the chicken breast to break up the larger chunks. Place this mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add cheese, onion, corn (thawed, but not heated), tomato, salsa and jalapeño.
  • Drizzle avocado with juice of 1/2 lime, then add avocado to the bowl.
  • Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 2 tsp taco seasoning to the bowl, then toss to mix well.
  • Assemble your meal by warming a piece of flat bread, then adding a layer of lettuce shreds before topping with 1/4 mixture. Fold and enjoy taco-style.
  • **These are pretty large, filling serving sizes. If I was serving this with other dishes, I would probably estimate this would serving 5 or 6, depending on how hungry you are.
