Moroccan Chicken Pita Pockets image

Looking for something different, delicious, and a little exotic? Its not everyday you hear people say "Last night I had a Moroccan style sandwich". This recipe is a combo of the usual suspects such as chicken, plums, pita bread, hummus, and some popular spices. An interesting but surprising combo that I know you will love if you give it a chance! This recipe really doesn't require measurments. (No one uses measurements when making a sandwich.) You can put out all of the ingredients buffet style and people can make them up how they like. As far as the veggies (and plums) go, you can either choose to serve them fresh OR cooked by sauteing in olive oil.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken pita pockets were a disaster. The chicken was dry and the pita bread was soggy.

The chicken pita pockets were good, but I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of cheese.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but these pita pockets were surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pita bread was soft and fluffy.
