How to Make Maggie's Super Healthy Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad Pita Sandwich
- Cook chicken breast: Boil, bake, or grill 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Shred or chop into bite-sized pieces once cooled.
- Prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Combine chicken and dressing: Add the shredded chicken to the bowl with the cilantro-lime dressing. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble the pita pockets: Slice 4 pita breads in half. Fill each pita half generously with the chicken salad.
- Add optional toppings: Add your favorite toppings such as 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese (optional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy! You can also warm the pitas briefly in a pan or microwave for a warmer, softer experience.
