These recipes contain all the essential ingredients you'll need during pregnancy. These are simply delicious and very easy to prepare. Brushing the pitta pockets with the marinade and cooking them on the griddle gives them a wonderful flavour. This provides a good source of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins for your pregnancy diet.
 

Pregnancy Diet Chicken Pitta Pockets

 

 

 

Cut each pitta bread into half and brush with any remaining marinade. Place on the griddle for about 1 minute each side. Remove from the pan. Toss the watercress with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil and arrange the chicken, avocado, tomatoes (season these with a little salt and pepper) and watercress into each of the pitta pockets.

 

Ingredients

1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
1 skinless and boneless chicken breast
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano (optional) or pinch of dried oregano
2 pitta breads
1/2 bag watercress (about 40g)
1/4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 ripe plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
salt and pepper

 

Method:

Mix together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and oregano. Score the chicken 3 or 4 times with a sharp knife and place in the marinade for at least 30 minutes. Heat the griddle until very hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve and cook the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes turning halfway through. Remove from the pan and slice into strips, season to taste.
