Nacho Chicken Pitas

Ok, this one is not mine but I loved the idea for a breading on chicken for little ones (or picky big ones). Not SUPER healthy with the chips but not too bad either. It came from the Taste of Home Test Kitchen. Should make 4 servings.

You Will Need:
1 Egg
1 cup Crushed Nacho Tortilla Chips
1 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1/2 cup Mayo
4 Pita Bread Pockets, halved
8 Lettuce Leaves
1 Large Tomato, sliced
1/2 cup Shredded Cheese of your choice

Here's What You Do:
Preheat oven to 400.
Beat egg.
Put crushed chips into a shallow dish.
Dip chicken strips into the egg mixture, then coat with the crushed chips.
Place chicken in a single layer in a greased baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Spread mayo in pockets and load up with cooled chicken strips, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese.

This was a fast and easy recipe! I think it is perfect for summer. We enjoyed having something a little different. I think the egg mixture needs some seasoning because the chips weren't quite enough to flavor the chicken. I also added avocado spread in the pitas and it was really great! Thanks for a yummy dinner idea girl! Blog on!
