Curried Chicken Pitas
Cranberries and pear are sweet counterpoints in this tangy curried chicken salad. Toasted sliced almonds add a nutty crunch.

Ingredients
6 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted (see Tip)
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken breast (see Tip)
4 4- to 5-inch whole-wheat pita breads, cut in half
1 ripe but firm pear, diced
2 cups sprouts

Directions
1. Combine yogurt, mayonnaise and curry powder in a large bowl. Add chicken, pear, celery, cranberries and almonds; toss to combine.
2. Fill each pita half with 1/2 cup chicken salad and 1/4 cup sprouts.
notes

Tip: If you don’t have cooked chicken, poach about 12 ounces chicken breast for this recipe. Place boneless, skinless chicken breast in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water (or chicken broth) to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.

To toast sliced or slivered almonds: Place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes
