All these tasty sandwiches need are a few crunchy carrot sticks on the side. Mango sorbet with fresh blueberries makes a refreshing ending to the meal.
Ingredients

- 1 tbsp minced gingerroot

Preparation
Grilled Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken; grill on greased grill over medium-high heat, turning once, for about 12 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Let cool slightly; slice into strips.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, garlic, coriander, ginger, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar and 1/4 cup (50 mL) warm water until smooth and the consistency of yogurt, adding up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more water if too thick.
Line inside of each pita with lettuce leaf and alfalfa sprouts; divide chicken, cucumber and tomato among pitas. Spoon 2 tbsp (25 mL) sauce into each pita; sprinkle with green onions. Pass remaining sauce separately.
