Diet-Friendly Chicken and Slaw Tacos
These diet-friendly chicken and slaw tacos are the perfect easy snack to have when you are on a diet.
Ingredients
3 ounces ground chicken (minced chicken) - fat-free- 125 grams broccoli slaw
3 medium tortillas
1 tablespoon lime juice
3 medium corn tortillas
2 tablespoons salsa
1 tablespoon cilantro (coriander)- 1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons vegetable stock (vegetable broth or vegetable bouillon)- 3 sprays pam
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the minced chicken breasts with 1/2 tablespoon of lime juice and seasonings in a bowl. Spread the chicken mince on a baking sheet covered in aluminium foil and sprayed with pam, and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken starts to turn a light golden brown colour.
- While your chicken is baking, prepare your slaw. In a small-medium pot, set your stovetop to medium heat, and add in your broccoli slaw, 1 tablespoon of lime, vegetable broth, and a generous amount of seasoning. Mix everything until the slaw is evenly coated, then turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until soft.
- I like to microwave my tortillas in a tortilla warmer for 30 seconds. I plate the tacos by laying out the tortillas, adding the slaw, then the chicken, and topping with a bit of extra lime juice, salsa verde, and cilantro. Enjoy!
