Biggest Loser Indian Chicken Salad Pockets
Biggest Loser Chef Devin Alexander is a big fan of mixing low-fat mayonnaise with stronger flavors to give it the richness of a full-fat mayonnaise. Here, she’s coupled low-fat mayo with curry paste, which is found in the international aisle in most major grocery stores. Just be sure you don’t go crazy with these pastes in other dishes—most are insanely full of fat and sodium. But they also have very strong flavor, so in a dish like this where 1/2 teaspoon does it.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons reduced calorie mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice - preferably fresh squeezed
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 4 oz chicken breast - grilled and chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cucumber - seeded and chopped
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 1 whole-wheat pita - 6 1/2" diameter, cut in half
- 2 leaves green leaf lettuce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, and curry paste. Whisk to blend.
- Add the chicken, cucumber, and onion. Mix well.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the pita halves. Add the lettuce.
- Serve your Indian chicken salad pockets immediately.
