Do any of you have a recipe where you cook dark (chicken) meat, rice, celery and canned tomatoes in a pot on the stove top? My family member who used to cook it is gone but I remember that the chicken would just pull right off the bone. Thank you all. MrsJean

Rest of ingredients:
Directions
Combine all of the sauce ingredients and stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Combine the chicken, lemon pepper, oregano, and garlic powder in a medium bowl and toss to mix well. Coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for several minutes, until nicely browned and no longer pink inside. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside. To heat the pita pockets, place them on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high power for about 45 seconds. If heating only one pita at a time, microwave for only 15 seconds.
To assemble the sandwiches, line each pita half with a lettuce leaf, add some of the chicken, tomatoes, onion slices, and sauce. Serve hot.
