Method

Chop the chicken breast into 2cm cubes and place into a bowl. Add the garlic, soy, curry powder, ginger and sugar stirring to combine.
To make the peanut sauce, add the peanut butter, sweet chilli, soy sauce, lemon zest and juice in a small jug, and combine.
To prepare the slaw, combine the kale, carrot, cucumber and nuts in a bowl. Add half the peanut dressing and toss together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat a frying pan to a medium heat. Add a dash of oil and cook the chicken for 10 minutes turning once or twice until golden and cooked through.
To serve, warm the pita in a microwave for 30 seconds or in a warm oven. Split them open and fill with slaw and chicken. Top with a drizzle of remaining dressing.

Tip: Swap the kale out for any shredded leafy greens of your choice - cabbage, spinach or lettuce would all work well.
