Ingredients

1 store bought roasted chicken
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
2 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon leaves
2/3 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 mini pita breads

Directions

Remove the skin from the chicken and pull the meat from the bones. Discard the skin and bones.

Chop the chicken and put it into a medium bowl. Add the celery, scallions, walnuts, tarragon, and mayonnaise; mix thoroughly. If the mixture is not creamy enough, add more mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors meld.

Slice the mini pitas in half, open the pockets, and stuff with a heaping tablespoon of chicken mixture.

Not a fan of Tarragon
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was not my favorite but it was not awful. As I have really not used tarragon before that I am aware of, I know now that... I am not a fan. I also added about a cup of mandrian orange slices to the mix which we enjoyed. I will try this again with out the tarragon any time with leftover chicken for a quick chicken salad sandwich.Read more

pretty good, with changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

After having read many of the previous reviews, I made this with less mayo, no tarrogon, and used almond slivers that I... crushed up a bit instead of walnut. I made these for lunch with full-size pitas and they were pretty good, my boyfriend especially loves them and spreads them on top of crackers as a snack.Read more
