In recognition of the upcoming Labor Day holiday, some of The University of Kansas Health System’s offices will have modified hours on Monday, September 2.
6 medium cooked shrimp, tails removed or 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken, skin removed
2 medium whole-grain pitas
4 Tbsp. prepared hummus
1/4 cup fresh curly parsley, washed, dried and chopped
4 leaves fresh mint, washed, dried and chopped
1/4 sweet white onion, diced
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 ripe tomato, 6 slices
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Pepper to taste
Hot sauce to taste
If using chicken, remove the thighs. Reserve the rest of the rotisserie chicken for another no-heat meal. Remove the skin and bones from thighs and reserve. If using shrimp, cook until just pink.
Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on each pita. In a small bowl, combine parsley, mint, onion and olive oil. Place 2 slices of tomato on one side of each pita. Repeat with the cucumber slices. Place one half of the chicken meat (or 3 shrimp) on the tomato and cucumber. Season with pepper and hot sauce. Garnish with the herb and onion mixture.
