- 2 (6-inch) wheat pita pockets
- 1 1/3 cups baby arugula
- 1 1/2 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 cups Waldorf Chicken Salad
- 1. Cut each whole pita in half to create 2 pita pockets.
- 2. Place 1/3 cup of baby arugula into each pita pocket.
- 3. Gently mix cubed watermelon and Waldorf chicken salad.
- 4. Place 1 cup of watermelon Waldorf chicken salad into each pita pocket. Enjoy immediately!
Waldorf Chicken Salad:
- 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup chopped apple
- 1/2 cup halved seedless red grapes
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds (see Chefs Tips)
- 1. Place the chicken in a small pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a simmer and cook the chicken for 12 to 15 minutes on low heat until it is tender and reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2. Remove the chicken from the water and let it completely cool. Dice the cooked chicken into 1/2-inch pieces. (see Chef Tips)
- 3. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
- 4. In another bowl, combine diced cooked chicken, diced apples, halved grapes, diced celery, and toasted sliced almonds.
- 5. Gently mix the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Chef Tips:
- You can purchase toasted sliced almonds or toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, until just browned.
- You can make the chicken up to 2 days ahead by simmering it in water just below boiling (about 160 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit) or steaming it.
