Crazy-Good Coconut Chicken Taco

So this is a recipe from Hungry Girl 200 under 200. I was a little skeptical of this because you boil the chicken, but lord have mercy this was delicious. It's a small serving so it's good for if you're not that hungry. I also am not a fan of corn tortillas, but since you bake the tortilla to make a taco shell it was pretty delicious. One serving is what the recipe makes. 198 calories, 2.25g fat, 466mg sodium, 21g carbs, 3.75g fiber, 7g sugar, 22.5g protein, 5 WW pointsplus.

3 ounces raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast, cut into strips
1 medium corn tortilla
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup sugar-free calorie-free coconut syrup
2 tbsp pineapple salsa
1/2 tbsp fat free sour cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Once oven is not, use tongs to carefully drape/hang tortilla over two grates in the oven rack, so that the tortilla hangs from the rack. Bakke for about 5 minutes, or until tortilla forms a firm taco shell. Use tongs to remove the shell and then let cool.
Place coconut syrup, garlic powder, and salt in a medium pot. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Add chicken and pepper slices to the pot and bring to low heat on the stove.
Cook until chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and drain liquid completely.
Place chicken and bell pepper in the taco shell. Top with salsa and sour cream.
