More Rockin’ Moroccan Peanutty Pitas

This chicken salad pita was created by six-year-old West Mylroie of Santa Clara, Utah. It is spruced up with a peanut hummus made with prepared hummus, peanut butter, paprika and lemon juice. The chicken, green onion and tomato would also pair nicely with a homemade Almond Hummus if you prefer. Yields four servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup prepared hummus
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 large pita pockets

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, hummus, peanut butter and lemon juice.
  2. Transfer half of peanut butter mixture to medium bowl and combine with green onion, chicken, tomato and cilantro. Fill pitas with chicken mixture.
  3. Cut into 8 triangles and serve with remaining peanut hummus.
  4. Garnish sandwiches and hummus with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired.
