    Chicken and veggies in a peanut sauce make a tasty filling for pita bread!
    Peanut-Sauced Chicken Pitas

    I must admit it.  This recent issue of Cooking Light is a good one.  Perfect for warm weather food ideas....like the Caprese Panini!  This sandwich was different but delicious!  It has taste of "Thai" with the peanut sauce and the cilantro and wee bit of heat.  I am pretty sure this could easily be rolled up in a rice paper wrap and dipped in the peanut sauce.  Yummy 🙂

    I was leary about whether Grumpy was going to be willing to eat this.  Anytime I make something "different" or anytime I mention sandwiches for dinner, I will hear a groan.

    He didn't have a lot of choice tonight as by the time he arrived home, I already had dinner started.  I put these together, snapped my photos and handed him the plate.  Grumpy actually liked these!  I didn't hear any groaning; he may have known if he did he would be warming himself up a can of soup!  I actually heard a "wow, you gave me the plate you photographed."  LOL.  I loved this so much that I mixed up another batch and put it in the fridge to take to work for lunch the next day.   There is nothing bad about this sandwich in any way!  If you try this one, you won't regret it 🙂

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup cooked chicken torn apart
    • 2 tablespoons thin red bell pepper strips
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sweet Vidalia onion
    • 2 tablespoons cucumber cut into thin long strips
    • 2 tablespoons carrots cut into thin long strips
    • 2 tablespoons peanut sauce
    • ⅛ teaspoon chili paste
    • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
    • 1-6 inch Tofuyan pita bread

    Instructions
     

    • Combine all ingredients, divide into 2 servings between pita halves.  Enjoy!

    Notes

    **Note-CL does tell you to mix the chicken, pepper, onion, peanut sauce and salt and then assemble the sandwich with the remaining ingredients.  I just threw it all together - much easier when putting in a half a pita bread.

        Peanut sauce can be found in the ethnic food section of your grocery store.

      Sound ultra-yummy, especially since it can easily be tailored to your families likes & heat tolerance. Love it.
