Chicken Salad Pita Pockets

Chicken Salad Pita Pockets
  • 2 cups cubed chicken (from freezer)
  • 1 cup cubed Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle relish
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp minced parsley
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 whole pitas, cut in half

Combine chicken, cheese and pickle relish in a bowl. Combine mayo, parsley, lemon juice, seasoned salt and pepper. Add mayo mixture to chicken mixture and stir until well blended. Place a lettuce leaf in each pita pocket. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken salad into the pita.

If your pitas are not ready to stuff, prepare them by cutting a sliver off of the widest side. I find that they stuff without cracking if I steam them or heat them in the microwave briefly to soften them.
