What kind of recipes where you looking for? Breakfast...lunch...dinner...desserts....snacks? I take care of my mother..she is diabetic, and I cook for her. I've found a lot of recipes that she likes. I'll be more than happy to share.
Here are a few ideas:
"Creamed" Chicken
2 chicken breasts, skin on and bone in
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp. marjoram
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 small onion
1 tbsp. skim milk powder
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. white pepper
Put chicken, broth, marjoram and salt in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Allow chicken to cool in liquid. When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Now degrease the chicken broth. Then bring the broth to a boil in a small saucepan, add celery and onion and cook until liquid is reduced to about half and veggies are soft. In small bowl, mix milk powder, cornstarch, pepper and 1-2 tbsps. of water until it is a smooth paste. Add the cornstarch mixture to the reduced broth and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add chicken pieces and cook until heated. Serve over toast or rice or noodles or tortillas.
