CHICKEN JERKY  
Marinade:

1
/4 cup purple grape syrup  
tablespoons rice or white vinegar  
tablespoons tamari or good quality soy sauce  
tablespoons white wine Worchestershire sauce  
/4 cup chopped currants  
teaspoons onion powder  
teaspoons crushed red pepper  
(1 gram) packets artificial sweetener  
teaspoon garlic powder  
6
(2 to 3 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts  
Purple Grape Syrup:  
Place 1 (12 ounce) can of purple grape juice concentrate in a 10 inch  
nonstick skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.  
Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until the juice is reduced to  
1
cup, about 10 minutes more. Because of the consistency of the grape juice  
concentrate, occasional light sticking may occur, so use a wooden spoon to  
check and clear the bottom of the skillet two or three times during the  
reduction. Let cool, place in a covered container and refrigerate.  
Chicken Jerky:  
Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl and mix well to form a  
paste. Lay the chicken breasts on a hard surface, cover with waxed parchment  
paper, and gently pound the breasts until they are about 1/4 inch thick. The  
thinner the meat is, the easier it will be to eat later.  
Remove the paper from the chicken breasts, divide the marinade evenly among  
them, and gently rub on both sides. Refrigerate overnight in a covered  
container.  
Drain the excess liquid from the chicken breasts and lay them evenly around  
the dehydrator trays. Place in machine and dehydrate until the chicken is  
cooked and has dried out, about 20 to 22 hours. During this time, turn the  
pieces over 3 or 4 times.
