CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD ON WHOLE-WHEAT PITAS



Curried Chicken Salad on Whole-Wheat Pitas image

This light and spicy chicken salad is dressed in a lemony mix of nonfat yogurt with just a touch of mayonnaise. The flavor is boosted by aromatic curry powder and a kick of jalapeno. Almonds are a source of "good" fat; apple chunks supply fiber.

CHICKEN CAESAR FLATBREAD BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY



Chicken Caesar Flatbread Bowl Recipe by Tasty image

Why not make your entire meal edible, even the bowl you serve it in?! The three-ingredient flatbread bowl is easy to whip up for lunch or a fun dinner, and all you have left to do is grill some chicken, throw together a yummy dressing, and assemble the salad. If you are running short on time, use store-bought Caesar dressing and shredded rotisserie chicken.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h17m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 17

⅓ cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons whole milk greek yogurt
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons whole milk greek yogurt
2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
½ cup crouton
2 metal bowls, 8 inches (20 cm)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Make the flatbread bowl: In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and yogurt with a flexible spatula to combine. Knead the dough with your hands until a smooth ball forms, about 5 minutes.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Turn out the dough and roll out to a 9-inch (22.5 cm) round as thin as a sheet of paper. Rotate the round occasionally to help the dough hold its shape. Lightly dust with flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking, but be careful not to use too much flour, which will make the flatbread tough.
  • Invert an 8-inch (20 cm) metal bowl so the domed side faces up. Grease the bowl generously with nonstick spray, then spray one side of the dough. Gently lay the dough, greased-side down, over the bowl, pressing it flush against the surface. It's fine if the dough folds over on itself in places. Grease the inside of the other bowl, then spray the exposed side of the dough. Press the second bowl over the dough. With a paring knife, trim any excess dough around the edges.
  • Transfer the bowls, still upside down, to a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown, lift the top bowl to check. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • When the bowls are cool enough to handle, remove the top bowl. Gently invert the other bowl and let the flatbread bowl slide off. Let cool completely on the rack. It will continue to crisp as it cools.
  • Make the salad: Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes per side, or until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (75˚C) on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the chicken from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, Parmesan, and salt to taste. Drizzle in the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly to emulsify. Stir in the yogurt until smooth. Season with pepper to taste, if desired.
  • Once the chicken has rested, thinly slice.
  • Fill the flatbread bowl with the romaine, then top with the sliced chicken, croutons, dressing, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!

CHICKEN SALAD IN A WHOLE WHEAT PITA POCKET



Chicken Salad in a Whole Wheat Pita Pocket image

This is not your typical Chicken Salad. I am not partial to onions and celery so I made up my own version using Spinach and Broccoli and it turned out delicious enough that I am posting it here for you to try. This recipe is basically a base that can be eaten with or without additions so if you enjoy onions and celery add them in or you could try, tomatoes, olives, avocado, walnuts, Raspberries, Zucchini, Summer Squash or more.

Provided by Silver.lily

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 8 1/2 pockets of salad, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup broccoli, raw and chopped
1 cup spinach, raw and chopped
4 tablespoons Miracle Whip
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
4 whole wheat pita bread, cut in half

Steps:

  • Dice the chicken and brown it in the Worcestershire sauce in a non-stick skillet with no oil.
  • When the chicken is mostly browned add the chopped broccoli and spinach.
  • Cover and let it stay on the heat long enough for the chicken to finish cooking and the spinach and broccoli to soften then remove from heat leaving covered.
  • In a separate bowl mix the mustard, cheese and Miracle Whip. (Mayonnaise works too).
  • Once the chicken has cooled add the chicken to the bowl and mix well.
  • Place some of the mixture into half a Whole Wheat Pita Pocket and Enjoy.
  • * This tastes delicious both warm and cold so leftovers are great.
  • * Some possible additions: tomato, olives, celery, onion, avocado, zucchini, summer squash, walnuts, raspberries. - if you add zucchini and/or squash you will probably want to steam it separately and then add to the mixture.

CHICKEN BREAD BOWL

Provided by kinse10

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 3h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
⅔ cup warm water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 slices kiwi, mashed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
¾ cup chicken broth
1 tomato, chopped
¼ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons butter, softened

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the yeast over 2/3 cup of warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Mix brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and butter together in a small bowl. Combine the yeast mixture with the brown sugar mixture in a large mixing bowl; stir well to combine. Stir in 1 cup of flour until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine chicken thighs, kiwi, oregano, cumin, taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of flour; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken thighs; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer over medium-low heat until the chicken thighs are until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato; cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in half of the Cheddar cheese; set aside.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a knife to divide the dough into three equal pieces-don't tear it. Coat three equally sized oven safe glass or ceramic bowls with oil and place a piece of dough into each bowl. Take three smaller oven safe glass or ceramic bowls and coat the outside of each bowl with oil. Press the smaller bowl into the larger bowl, leaving about 1/2 an inch between the bowls. Allow bread to rise, while continuously pushing the smaller bowl into the larger bowl, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine Parmesan cheese, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the dough with butter, then sprinkle with with the Parmesan cheese mixture. Place bowls on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow bowls to cool for 10 minutes, then remove both small and large glass bowls. Fill each bread bowl with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Return the filled bread bowls to the oven and bake until the Cheddar cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
