Chicken Salad Pita

[CheapPinz]

You will need pre-cooked chilled chicken..I like using the night before's leftovers. Slice the cold chicken and mix with enough mayo to make it not dry. I like to also add nearly shaved celery and a little bell's turkey seasoning powder. paprika or nature's seasoning also taste good for a sprinkle of flavor.
chop chicken, add mayo, add celery and seasonings, scoop out onto pita covered with lettuce.

Sounds really good. I love getting recipe's like this from members. My addition? I'd Change the mayo to the kind with olive oil in it. Gonna make one as soon as u get back in town next week!

I like cooking nearly everything I eat. I rarely eat out and I like it that way. It seems when a restaurant or sandwich store makes your food, they always skimp out on the quality ingredients, throw in some fatty crap you dont need or want. Atleast this way, you can control the chicken..no greasy chicken for me... and you can add mayo or light dressing as you want. I like to add way more chicken than any store would ever sell in one sandwich. maximize the meat, minimize the bun.

I just don't like most things on a regular Canadian/American style menu.
However, if I go to a Vietnamese, Sri Lankan,Indian, or Thai (some items are OK) restaurant I am pretty much good to go- I like most of that food.
I like food that is light, clean, not greasy, spicy, and full of flavour.

Suggestion; drop the mayo and substitute for brown mustard! I've been making 12-16oz things of chicken salad with brown mustard, cracked pepper, sweet relish, chopped onions and sunflower seeds(also sometimes add in dried cranberries) and it's awesome. Add it in a pita with lettuce or maybe shredded cabbage and it you got a winner!

Oh I just order it, I don't make it!
But some of my favourites are:
Vietnamese
Pho ( beef broth, vermicelli, rare beef, green onions, cilantro, basil, bean sprouts, and lime) I put sriracha (chili) sauce in this
Goi cuon (rice paper wraps with shrimp, bbq pork or chicken, vermicelli, basil mint, and bean sprouts) This usually comes with a peanut sauce or topped with peanuts but i get it without as i have a peanut allergy, more's the pity
Bun (vermicelli) with pork spring rolls, grilled beef, bean sprouts, lettuce carrots, cucumber, green onions basil, mint, and fish sauce. I put sriracha (chili) sauce on this. This usually comes with peanuts too.
Cold spicy beef with chili, lime and onion salad
Ginger chicken. It's stir fried chicken, with ginger. lol



Sri Lankan- basically like Indian food, but they toast their spices so it really is aromatic and delicious
coconut sambol
it's a spicy chili lime coconut curry dry salad.
devilled curry
basically really chicken or beef in a red spicy chili curry
vegetable thali- a selection of vegetable curries- spinach, lentil, eggplant, potato, chickpea
tandoori chicken

Thai food, I like the Tom Yum and green curry
oh, and green mango salad.

i generally like spicy food
