ASIAN CHICKEN PITAS
Everything that makes an egg roll great, without the deep-fat frying! I haven't tried this yet, just posting for safe keeping. **I've done a little research and think a great sauce may be the best accompiament I would suggest recipe #33113 by Bergy or recipe #89827 by Miraklegirl. Of course if you have a favorite sauce give that a try! Found on myrecipes web site
