Pro Tips for Making Diabetes Friendly Chicken Recipes
- Short on time? Choose chicken tenders for your recipe as these will cook in the least amount of time. They also thaw fast in a pinch. Just be sure to avoid overcooking them. Chicken is fully cooked at 165°F.
- Most of these meals can be prepared in one pan for ease of preparation. Choose a non-stick pan oven or iron skillet. Some recipes will state if an oven safe pan is required.
- Whenever you are boiling chicken, use chicken broth instead of water. This will add a delicious flavor to your chicken. Through in a few herb sprigs or a celery stalk for even tastier chicken.
Diabetes Friendly Side Dish Ideas
Try to choose low carb veggies and side dishes depending upon your health professional's personalized carb recommendations. Choose carbs carefully and focus on getting fewer processed foods.
Minimize potatoes, rice and pasta in favor of non-starchy vegetables and/or substitutes like cauliflower-rice, high fiber pasta, etc. Check out these options:
- Low Carb Tex Mex Squash Casserole
- Cheesy Roasted Asparagus
