This recipe was inspired by my friend Kim Grimmer when we were out fishing in the cold rain with our husbands and I brought a lame lunch with me and she shared her chicken salad pitas with me . Oh it was sooo good. This isn't her exact recipe but was inspired by her.   6 oz    canned chicken breast (drained) 1/4 C  light mayonnaise 1 t      curry powder 12      green grapes (halved) 1 C     alfalfa sprouts (divided into fourths) 2        Pitas (halved to form pockets) Mix chicken, mayonnaise, curry powder together.  Add grapes and lightly mix.  Divide chicken salad into fourths.  Stuff each pita half with mixture and add alfalfa sprouts into remaining pocket space.  Serves 4. 177 calories per serving.
