Curry Chicken Salad Pita Sandwich

I have a fondness for chicken salad...mostly because I love it when leftovers can be used to make something I really like. It's like twice as good! I really like the curry flavor and I'm a sucker for apples in salad. This is one of my favorite picnic recipes because you can assemble the sandwich on site and the pita doesn't get soggy. Number one complaint about picnic food!

Ingredients:
5-6 grilled chicken tenders (marinated with soy sauce and ground ginger) or 1 lb of chicken breast
1 Granny Smith apple cubed
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
6 tablespoons plain Greek yorgurt
1 tablespoon mayo
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon rough chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons sliced green onion
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
Ground pepper to taste
pitas
bibb lettuce

Directions:
  1. Chicken should be baked or grilled and refrigerated until cool. Cube chicken into 1 inch pieces. Mix chicken with apples, almonds, curry, cilantro, onion, salt and pepper. Add yogurt, mayo and lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
  2. To assemble sandwich: halve the pita, line with lettuce and fill with chicken salad.
