Tarragon Chicken Pita

This is a nice and light chicken salad – perfect tucked inside a pita or scooped up with cucumber rounds.

gluten-free, paleo-ish

Tarragon Chicken Pita

2/3 – 1 cup pulled rotisserie chicken, chopped

2tsp – 1Tbsp tarragon mustard

2-3Tbsp pickled onion, chopped

Enough mayo to bind your ingredients together

1/2 small shallot, diced

2tsp fruity vinegar

3Tbsp slivered almonds or pine nuts

Arugula

Your favorite kind of pita as a vessel for serving – or just in a bowl with cucumber rounds for scooping

Mix everything but the arugula & pita. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve as desired.

Makes enough for 2 people if they have normal sized pitas; I wolfed the entire batch down because I was starving and my pitas are Middle-East sized.

I can’t take credit for this one, but it was too good to pass up. Their girlfriend threw them a goodbye for now party before she has her baby. These dogs are ridiculous 😂🥰😍

I’m sitting here, minding my own business and having breakfast, and this jerk hops over to stare at me for half the meal. Good thing the glass door between the two of us remained shut – I think I would have been mugged for my eggy muffin 😂

At least we can still *kinda* see the fountains, even if it is molten lava hot outside.
