Instructions

1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained (save liquid) 3/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1 Tbsp. curry powder 1 tsp. sea salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 9 medium strawberries, cubed 1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and cubed 12 oz. baked or roasted chicken breast, cubed 32 spinach leaves 4 (6 ½-inch) whole-grain pitas

To make Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry Sauce, place chickpeas, liquid, peanut butter, curry powder, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and blend well until it reaches a creamy consistency. Set sauce aside.
In a medium size bowl combine well the strawberries, avocado, chicken, and 3/4 cup of the Chickpea Peanut Butter Curry Sauce (you will have leftover sauce).
Cut pitas in half and fill each half with 4 spinach leaves and equal amounts of the avocado mixture.

Chef’s Note: Use the leftover sauce with cut up raw vegetables such as carrots, celery and bell peppers as your next snack.

Tip: if you don’t have already baked chicken breast then use rotisserie chicken from the store.

Beverage Pairing: Strawberry-infused carbonated water.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
