Recipe: curried chicken salad pita pockets
If you’re looking for a new healthy family meal, this is it. Not only is this recipe quick and easy to prepare, it provides some wiggle room to sneak some extra veggies in that your family may not normally eat. Get creative and make the recipe your own by tweaking ingredients and adding an extra veggie here and there. Not a fan of spicy curry? Don't worry - this recipe comes out tasting sweet and creamy.

Ingredients
3 cups cubed cooked chicken or canned shredded chicken
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup halved seedless grapes
1/2 cup toasted almonds, slivered
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and black pepper to taste
10 lettuce leaves
5 large whole-grain pita pockets, cut into halves, or 10-inch by 6-inch tortillas
