Creamy Chopped Chicken Salad Stuffed Pitas

3

My family gobbled up these pita pockets in record time. The reason for this is their undeniable flavor. Their creamy texture is derived from the avocado and part mayo combination. You can also sub in Greek yogurt in its place.

I’m personally enthusiastic with the dish’s high protein content thanks to the chicken and eggs. Did you know that a runny yolk provides 50% more nutrients than a solid, hard boiled egg?

Instructions

Chicken:

• Preheat your pan with the oil on medium high. Once hot, add in the chicken strips and cook on until cooked through to 165℉ internal temperature.

Salad:

• I prepare each salad individually, on the cutting board, as follows:
• Add 3 strips chicken to a cutting board first followup by 1 egg, 1/2 avocado, 6 mozzarella balls, 1/4 cup olives, 3-4 strips sun dried tomaotoes, 3 tbs mayo, 2 tsp Sriracha, 2 tsp sesame seeds, tiny bunch of dill. Chop all this up together with a wide knife (if you like it creamier, add a little more mayo) and transfer to your slice opened pita to stuff. Enjoy!

Notes

SOFT BOILED EGGS: Place your eggs in a small pot and cover with cool water. Bring water to a boil and then lower the heat to medium low and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in cold water. When cool enough to handle, remove the shells under running water (it’s easier for the shell to come off this way).
