Chicken Pita Pockets with Spicy Mayo

I'm on the fence with this recipe. 

On the one hand, it was good. I ate it and was satisfied.

On the other hand, I'm not a fan of green goddess dressing in general. This green goddess dressing tasted more like pesto. 

Overall, this is an ok recipe. I'd do it again, but I might change the dressing I use. Or make my own green goddess dressing. 

The chicken from the kit was weird. It was "chopped" chicken and it had a ton of fat pieces in it and it was mushy and weird. I cooked it and it tasted fine. I picked out all the fat pieces because chicken fat is gross. 

Chicken Pita Pockets with Spicy Mayo

Recipe from Hello Fresh

Serves 2

• 1 roma tomato, chopped
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 2 oz Green Goddess Dressing
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Romain lettuce; chopped
• 2 pitas
• 2 T mayo
• 10 oz chicken, chopped in bite size pieces

Trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop into bite-size pieces. Cut tomato into 1⁄4-inch-thick wedges.

Cut your chicken into bite size pieces.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss lettuce, tomato, dressing, and a drizzle of olive oil in a large bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much hot sauce as you like. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Wrap pitas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30-60 seconds. Halve pitas; gently pull apart to create pockets.

Fill pita pockets with chicken and as much salad as you like. Drizzle with as much spicy mayo as you like. Serve with any remaining salad on the side.
