Peanut Sauced Chicken Pitas

Picture
I came across this recipe in a Cooking Light magazine which originally uses rotisserie or any dark meat shredded chicken.  The original chicken version I'd make for the husband and easily veganized for myself.

For the vegan version I usually go with beyond meat chicken.  Roast in oven in a little olive oil, let cool and shred.  I'm not a fan of the beyond meat in the strips but I find roasting it in oil gets it nice and caramelized.  From there it's easy to shred and use like shredded chicken.  My meat eating husband wasn't a fan of the beyond chicken either until he tried it shredded after being roasted and agreed that's good stuff!  We've used in Mexican dishes, chicken soup and here in this wrap.

If I come across some good looking pitas (Trader Joe's has some tasty ones), this is a good use!

Zucchini Patty Pita Sandwich

This is a great healthy use of zucchini.  Mixing with chickpeas and Greek yogurt makes for a filling meal.  I used much less mint then advised (I'm not a huge fan of mint in my savory dishes).  I just put a little shredded mint in each patty and it was a nice touch.  The leftover pitas held together well in plastic wrap and were still good the next day.

    Jen's Kitchen...

    is the smallest kitchen ever.  We used to watch those decorating shows that said they were doing small kitchens and then could see that 4 of my kitchens would fit in their "small kitchens".
    Regardless of size, the kitchen is busy cranking out good things.  Most is natural/organic but that doesn't mean it's always healthy!
