shredded chicken pitas

with sun dried tomato vinaigrette


2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil
1 tablespoon chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (2-3 chicken breasts)
1 cup chopped tomato (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
6 (6-inch) pitas, cut in half
3 cups mixed baby greens

combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. stir in chicken, tomato, cheese, and basil.

line each pita half with 1/4 cup greens. divide chicken mixture evenly among pita
halves. eat.

notes: this was good, easy and (i think) a nice summertime no-cook recipe. i used a 13 oz. can of chicken and we thought it tasted great. if you don't want to use sun-dried tomatoes i'm sure you could substitute olive oil for the sun-dried tomato oil. i've also subbed mayo in for the oil and it was yummers.
