Indian Chicken Salad Pockets
Biggest Loser Indian Chicken Salad Pockets
I'm a big fan of mixing low-fat mayonnaise with stronger flavors
to give it the richness of a full-fat mayonnaise. Here, I've coupled
low-fat mayo with curry paste, which is found in the international
foods aisle in most major grocery stores. Just be sure you don't
go crazy with these pastes in other dishes- most are insanely
full of fat and sodium. But they also have very strong flavor,
so in a dish like this-where 1/2 teaspoon does it-I absolutely
love them and I suspect you will, too.
11/2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lime juice, preferably fresh squeezed
1/2 teaspoon curry paste
3/4 cup (4 ounces) chopped grilled chicken breast
11/2 tablespoons seeded, chopped cucumber
11/2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 whole-wheat pita (6 1/2" diameter), cut in half
2 leaves green leaf lettuce
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and curry
paste.
Whisk to blend. Add the chicken, cucumber, and onion. Mix well.
Spoon the
mixture evenly into the pita halves. Add the lettuce. Serve immediately.
