Thai Chicken Pita

I put this together a couple nights ago, it was super filling and was full of veggies.
Thai Chicken Pita

Chicken Carrot Mixture
2 chicken breasts cut into strips
dash of lime juice
2 carrots medium 1/4 and chopped
2 tbsp sesame seeds
Sauce:
2 tbsp soya sauce
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
1/8 tsp chili flakes
Pita Stuffing:
Broccoli slaw
Avocado sliced
Shredded Cheese

Cook up the chicken in a hot pan add a dash of lime juice for flavor when cooking. Once chicken is fully cooked add chopped carrots and cook until the al dente.  
In the mean time prepare your sauce in a small bowl giving it a good whisk to ensure the chili sauce and the honey are mixed in. 
Once the chicken and carrots are cooked add the sauce and let simmer for 10 mins. In the last 5 mins add the sesame seeds.
Prepare your pita by cutting in half and separating carefully.  Add a generous amount of broccoli slaw to the pita, lay avocado slices along the side and a pinch of cheese on top of the slaw.  
Take the hot chicken and carrot mixture and spoon into the pita.  Use some of the sauce from the pan and drizzle over the chicken mixture so it soaks down to the slaw. 
ENJOY!!!

Welcome...

Well here it is.... Tahh dahhh...........
My first blog please be gentle on me. I just want to share with my family and friends my love of cooking and growing my own food. 
I am already getting excited because today I saw garden seeds out in stores.  Yes that is right it is -20 C and people are thinking about plating a garden.  As I look out to my garden all I see is a ton of snow... It still excites me cause I know that someday this gloomy winter will be over
Well I am off to create some magic in the kitchen pictures will be posted later.
