WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

PEPPERS AND ARTICHOKES CHICKEN

1 jar (6-oz) marinated artichoke hearts, drain and reserve marinade
1/3 cup chicken broth
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 medium-size red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into quarters
4 green onions, sliced
1/4 tsp black pepper


Place drained artichokes in refrigerator. In a shallow glass dish, mix marinade and broth. Add chicken and bell peppers, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Heat grill. Remove chicken and peppers from marinade; reserve marinade. Place chicken on medium hot grill, cover and cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken, add peppers, cover and cook 10-15 minutes or until chicken is done.

Strain marinade and place in a small saucepan with the artichokes, onion, and pepper. Heat to boiling (very important), cook 1 minute while stirring. Serve with the chicken and peppers.
