Sweet N Spicy Chicken Wraps

This is for one serving. Adjust as necessary. Very low calorie and low fat.

1oo grams of chicken
4 whole cabbage leaves
1 gala apple, cored and chopped
2 TBS Braggs Liquid Amino Acids (can use soy sauce but it's less healthy)
Water
1 TBS Course Ground Mustard
2 cloves minced garlic
2 T beef or chicken broth
pepper to taste
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder

in one small skillet put the chicken in saute pan with the amino acids, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook chicken until done, adding water frequently to deglaze the pan and keep the chicken moist.

While chicken is cooking bring enough water to a boil to submerge the cabbage leaves without tearing them. Add cabbage leaves one at a time just to cook until cabbage leaf is tender and pliable. As they are done take out and set aside.

Remove cooked chicken from the pan and let cool enough to cut; cut into small pieces. Keep the juice from the chicken and add the garlic, mustard, and broth. Bring to a boil and cook apples in this mixture until tender. Add chicken and cook until warm.

Spoon the mixture into the cabbage leaf and roll into wraps.

Apricot Chicken

This recipe came from my Mom. It makes enough for a lot of chicken--8 breasts or 2 whole chickens, cut.

2 T cornstarch
2 C apricot nectar (or use canned apricots, pureed in blender)
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
lots of chicken

Mix cornstarch and some of the nectar. Heat until thick. Add remaining nectar and soup mix. Pour onto chicken. Bake at 350 degrees, covered, for 45 minutes. Cook an additional 45 minutes uncovered. Baste regularly.

I haven't tried this in the slow cooker but it seems like it would work well.
