Plum-Sauced Chicken in Tortillas
Chicken is a dietary meat. It’s comparatively low in calories and useful in general.
Ingredients:
- 1 16-ounce can whole, unpitted purple plums, drained
- 1 cup hot-style vegetable juice
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 4 1/2 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger root
- 1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 6 7- to 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed
- 2 cups packaged shredded broccoli (broccoli slaw mix) or packaged shredded cabbage with carrot (coleslaw mix)
- Makes 6 servings.
Unpit plums and blend them until smooth. Transfer plums to a 3 1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker. Stir in vegetable juice, hoisin sauce, tapioca, ginger root, and five-spice powder.
Cut chicken into strips, and stir into crockery cooker. If you have enough time cook it for 4 hours on low-heat setting, otherwise cook it for 2 hours on high-heat setting. Remove chicken from cooker, reserving juices. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto each warm tortilla just below the center. Drizzle with the reserved juices. Top each with 1/3 cup shredded slaw mix. Roll up tortilla.

I love chicken but it is too costly for me last days.
