The only things I did differently were, instead of pita pockets- I used naan bread, and served as an entire meal instead of appetizer. I also left the pomegranate seeds out of the slaw. Just a personal preference, my family will eat them by the spoonful plain, but if you try to hide them, they dont enjoy the crunch as much. Fantastic flavor!!! I just sprinkled the chicken with a little sea salt when it came out of the oven, but left the measurements alone, ill definitely make again!!!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"219445","romance_copy_dek":"I enjoy shredded chicken dishes, pita sandwiches and Moroccan seasonings.
