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.

HONEY ROSEMARY CHICKEN

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup minced fresh rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
6 (about 7-oz) each bone-in skinless chicken breast halves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

In a bowl, combine honey, vinegar, rosemary and oil; mix well. Pour half the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag well and turn to coat all the chicken; refrigerate 2 hours. Place remaining marinade in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.

Drain chicken and discard the marinade from the bag. Place chicken, bone side down, in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until the juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the marinade during baking.

Yield: 6 servings
