No celery on hand? Cook chopped onion in its place.

Some people cook extra chicken breasts when grilling so they have cooked chicken on hand for recipes just like this.

The picture appears to be for some other recipe. Looks like yellow bell peppers (not in the recipe) and I don't see any lettuce.

These were soooo good, but, I made a few modifications. I friend both celery AND onion together, and added pesto to taste ( i think i used more than was recommended in the recipe). I mixed the lettuce with oil AND parmesan. Also, I used garlic naan bread instead of pizza crusts - i know, it sounds weird, but it all worked out really well. It tasted great, and was extremely filling! Delicious!

I made this recipe using pita pockets instead of pizza crust, and it tasted great. The pita made it easier to carry to work with me for lunch. Also, there are brands of pre-cooked grilled chicken strips at the grocery store, which saved tons of time and were very inexpensive.
