2 ounces precooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons light mayo
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup romaine
Salt and black pepper to taste
Dried dill

Steps:

  • Toss chicken breast with Greek yogurt, mayo, mustard and diced vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper and dried dill. Stuff chicken salad and romaine inside pita. Serve with apple mixed with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

  • Prepare the chicken and apples in advance: This will save you time when you're assembling the pitas.
  • Don't overstuff the pitas: You want to be able to fold them closed without the filling spilling out.
  • Bake the pitas until they're golden brown and crispy: This will give them a delicious, slightly chewy texture.
  • Serve the pitas warm: This is when they're at their best.

Conclusion:

Chicken apple stuffed pita is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken and apples.
