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.

PARMESAN CHICKEN BREASTS


4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup butter*, melted
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs**
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Microwave butter until melted in a shallow microwave-safe bowl.

Combine the breadcrumbs and cheese in a second bowl.

Dip the chicken breasts in the melted butter then lightly coat on both sides with the breading.

Place chicken on a baking pan with sides or on a baking dish that has been very lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until nicely browned and cooked through.

*For a healthier dish substitute olive oil, the flavored ones are especially good substitutes for butter.
**You may substitute your favorite low-carb breadcrumbs mixed with 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning. However, there is enough protein in the recipe that most diabetics can get by with the small amount of the reg breadcrumbs listed. You know your body. Use your discretion.
