Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a pan pour wine and add garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add chicken and poach until cooked throughout but not dry. About 10 to 15 minutes. Let it cool in broth.

  3. Step 3

    In a blender puree the sliced avocado, yogurt, mint, salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and mix with a spoon.

  4. Step 4

    Remove chicken from broth and dice meat.

  5. Step 5

    Cut open pita bread, add chicken, sliced tomatoes and lettuce. Pour sauce over mixture.

Tip
  • For the tailgate picnic it is best to dice the chicken at home and place it in a covered plastic container with enough juice to keep it moist. Assemble sandwiches just before serving to avoid soggy bread.
