Recipes for a Quick and Easy Diabetic Friendly Meal-Lemon Rosemary Chicken & Spinach in Cream Sauce

These recipes will allow you to make a quick and easy meal that features chicken legs and thighs instead of the often used chicken breasts.  These darker chicken pieces offer nutritional value not found in the white meat.  The lemon and rosemary marinade will tenderize and flavor the chicken.  Add some Spinach in Cream Sauce for a yummy meal that is tasty yet healthy.  These recipes are not only quick and easy, they are also diabetic friendly.  In these two dishes you will have meat, fruit juice, healthy canola oil, vegetable, dairy, and egg.

QUICK AND EASY LEMON-ROSEMARY CHICKEN

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup canola oil

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

1/4 tsp salt

dash of freshly ground black pepper

4 chicken legs

4 chicken thighs

Combine the lemon juice, canola oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size ziptop plastic bag. Seal well and shake to mix well.

Remove the skin from the chicken pieces and add chicken to the plastic bag.  Marinate for about 30 minutes.

Heat up an indoor or outdoor grill.

Remove the chicken pieces from the plastic bag, discarding the marinade.  Place chicken in a microwave-safe 13 x 9-inch baking dish.  Cover and microwave for 10 minutes.  If you are not using a turntable, turn the dish after 5 minutes.

Remove microwaved chicken to the grill.  Grill 6 to 10 minutes or until browned and juices run clear.

A serving of 1 leg and 1 thigh = 271 calories, 32 g protein and only 1 g carbs

SPINACH IN CREAM SAUCE

1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, cubed

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp milk

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp hot pepper sauce

2 pkgs (10-oz each) chopped frozen spinach, cooked & well drained

1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped

In a medium saucepan stir together the cream cheese, butter, milk, salt and pepper sauce over low heat until smooth.  Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture and heat thoroughly.  Pour into serving dish and top with the chopped egg.

Enjoy!
