Poppy Seed Chicken Pitas Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by courtneyj87

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts
kosher salt
1 large orange
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream or low-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 cup chopped pecans, almonds or walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped (optional)
torn lettuce leaves, for serving
4 whole-wheat pitas, halved

Steps:

  • Cover the chicken with cold water in a saucepan and add 1 teaspoon salt. Remove strips of zest from half of the orange with a vegetable peeler; add the zest to the water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 18 minutes. Remove the chicken and let cool. Zest the remaining orange peel and put zest in a large bowl; juice the orange into the bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, celery, nuts, chives, poppy seeds, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Add the apricots, if desired. Shred the chicken, discarding the bones and skin, and toss with the dressing. Stuff a few lettuce leaves and some of the chicken salad into each pita.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best chicken he's ever had.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out really dry. The sauce was good, though.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was curdled. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The poppy seed sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.
