Jenny of Integrated Diabetes Services shares a recipe you’ll want to make again and again!
Awesome recipe – totally easy to do in the oven or on the grill and you can substitute tofu or shrimp or fish for the chicken if desired. I like this with riced cauliflower and corn tortillas, or with blue corn chips and guacamole on the side and a green salad for adding this as a topping!

Love this recipe! Definitely gonna try this. I do make Steak and potatoes for dinner with garlic roasted asparagus. My favourite is Grilled fish tacos with some seasoned rice vinegar and shredded cabbage between them. I love veggies, so I put vegetables like green beans, onions, eggplant or mushrooms with light Italian dressing and 1 tbsp of olive oil. These type 1 diabetes meal plans are delicious!
