 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon-style mustard
1 tsp. dried dillweed
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken OR 2 (10 oz) cans premium chunk chicken
3 green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
Lettuce leaves
4 Pita rounds
 1 pkg. Louis Kemp Lobster Delights
1 tsp. oil
1 tsp. finely minced fresh ginger
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
4 cups COLD cooked white rice
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup diced carrots
3 green onions, thinly sliced
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp soy sauce
 1 1/2 pounds catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces.
1/4 cup Tabasco brand Chipotle pepper sauce
3/4 cup cormeal
3/4 cup corn flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Oil for depp-frying
 In medium bowl combine mayonnaise, mustard, dillweed and pepper. Stir in chicken and green onions. Serve on lettuce-lined plates OR stuffed into pitas.
 In a wok or large, heavy nonstick skillet, heat the oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and cook a few seconds-do not brown. Add Lobster Delights, rice, peas, carrots and green onions. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Make a hole in the middle of the mixture and add the beaten egg. Scramble it, then stir into rice. Sprinkle rice with soy sauce and stir. Taste and season with salt if desired.
 Place catfish in a bowl and sprinkle with Tabsco brand Chipotle Pepper sauce; toss well. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Combine cornmeal, corn flour, and salt in another bowl and mix well. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees Farenheit. Coat catfish pieces with cornmeal mixture and fry 5 minutes or until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
