Helpful Hints
- One average-size raw, boneless, skinless chicken breast weighs approximately 4 ounces.
- Use one pita per serving, if smaller pitas are substituted for the larger ones.
- Even though tomato is a high-potassium vegetable, the 2 tablespoons per serving is small enough that potassium for the recipe is still acceptable for a low-potassium diet.
- If you need extra calories, use regular mayonnaise instead of reduced fat. Besides providing more calories, sodium content is lower.
