Found at the biggirlssmallkitchen website, this easy-fix & sure-to-be-tasty sandwich was featured by kelsey brown in a “brown baggin’ it” article primarily directed at college students & the working masses who dine in “break rooms” more often than not. Kelsey said: “make your fellow students or co-workers jealous when they’re unwrapping their frozen “diet” entrées & you whip out this fresh, light & flavorful moroccan chicken salad sandwich in pita bread.” do not be intimidated by what may appear to be a complex set of ingredients. The ingredients are simple & the rest is a matter of spicing. Ingredient prep & assembly time was estimated. There was no cook time since the recipe begins w/pre-cooked chicken. Enjoy!!
