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.

LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

2 lbs chicken thighs
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
4 garlic cloves, minced
salt to taste
pepper to taste
thin lemon slices for garnish

Season chicken with the salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Splenda, and garlic. Add chicken and stir to coat. Refrigerate and allow to marinate 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Remove chicken from marinade and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn chicken and continue baking until juices run clear, another 10 to 20 minutes.


Serve each thigh topped with a lemon slice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
