Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium whole wheat tortillas (6-inch each)
1/4 cup thawed frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into 3-inch strips
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pinch salt
14 ounces roasted red peppers, drained and chopped

  • Preheat the oven to 200. Wrap the tortillas in foil and bake untiln warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the juice concentrate and oil over medium-high heat until bubbling. Add the chicken, coriander, chili powder, and salt; cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through, 5-10 minutes, adding a little water if the pan becomes dry. Stir in the bell peppers; simmer until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
  • To serve, top a warm tortilla with 3/4 cup of the chicken mixture and 1 tablespoon of the sour cream.
  • Cook's Tip: You can warm the tortillas in the microwave, 2 at a time, between layers of damp paper towels. Microwave on HIGH, turn tortillas every 10 seconds, until soft, about 40 seconds. Resume the recipe at step 2.

ORANGE CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI (WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Orange Chicken With Broccoli (Weight Watchers) image

From the Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. I posted it as it appears in the cookbook, but I would have liked more broccoli in it. Also, my sauce never really thickened, so I might skip the water next time and just use the juice and broth to cook the broccoli. I used the minced ginger in a jar to save time.
