In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the peppered pineapple jam with a little water to make into a pouring consistency. bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, warm the tortillas in the oven for 5 minutes.
Put the broccoli slaw in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, ¼ cup of the peppered pineapple jam, lime zest and half of the lime juice. Add the dressing to the slaw and toss. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and additional lime juice if needed.
Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Lower the heat under the skillet and continue to reduce the remaining juices to a syrup consistency. Slice the chicken.
To build the tacos, place the tortillas flat on a plate, add the sliced chicken down the middle and spoon on some of the reduced sauce from the skillet. Top with the slaw and cilantro.
