I enjoy shredded chicken dishes, pita sandwiches and Moroccan seasonings. The addition of the carrot salad laced pomegranate seeds and with dates lends an extra punch and crunch. Mini flour tortillas can be substituted for pitas. —Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

Health tip: Using skinless chicken thighs instead of breast meat keeps the chicken tender, juicy and flavorful, and only adds about 20 calories per serving.
