The ingredients for Andi's Chicken Pita Pocket Sandwich are:

1 Chicken Breast, boneless skinless cooked and seasoned to taste (I usually cook it in a skillet with a spray of olive oil and cajun seasoning)

Bread, pita, whole-wheat, 2 pita, large

Lettuce, red leaf 1 large outer leaf or two smaller (washed, dried and torn into bite sized peices)

Sour Cream, reduced fat, 2 tbsp

Red Onions, raw, 1 slice, thin quartered

Provolone Cheese, 1 slice (1 oz) torn or cut into small peices

Here is how you make Andi's Chicken Pita Pocket Sandwich:

Take your cooked/seasoned chicken breast, still warm and cut it in half vertically. Then slice horizontally to make bite sized thin peices. Take the torn/cut provolone peices and mix them with the chicken peices.Cut 2 whole wheat pitas in half and gently use your fingers to pry them open to expose the hollow center and make a pocket. Put in a few peices of the clean, torn lettuce and push them to the bottom of each 'pocket'. Next take a few peices of thinly sliced and quartered red onion and slide them along the inside of the pocket. Add a few peices of chicken/cheese mixture. A few dabs of sour cream. Repeat making 2 'layers' per pita. This way you get an even mixture of sourcream, chicken, red onion, and lettuce within each pocket. Divide the ingredients evenly among the pockets. This is also good if you make it 'greek style' using feta instead of provolone, and add kalmata olives. I used Greek dressing (just a tiny bit so it doesn't get soggy) instead of sour cream. You could also add cucumbers, or tomatoes. The same concept would work well with lunch meats and cheeses as well.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ANDICOONS.
