Little Italy Chicken Pita
A smart trick to this zesty sandwich is using oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to prepare the vinaigrette. Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and pack separately. Fill pitas just before eating.

• 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 (about 3/4 pound)
• 1 cup chopped tomato (about 1 medium) 
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Asiago cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil 
• 6 (6-inch) pitas, cut in half
• 3 cups mixed baby greens 

Preparation

1. 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.
