Recipe Notes -
Chicken Thigh -
If using chicken thigh, sear for 4 minutes on each side, and instead of baking for 13 minutes, do so for 16 minutes.
Garlic -
The flavor from 2 garlic cloves would be enough for most palettes. If you really like garlic, use 3 cloves. Like is said in the video, it's easy to add but once in, it cant be removed.
Pinenuts -
Pinenuts can be very expensive and can be substituted with a wide range of nuts such as macadamia, almonds, cashews and walnuts, and pistachios. If allergies are a concern, they can be left out completely.
To store, place the containers in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, before reheating or taking it out with you.
It’s recommended to freeze and thaw overnight when needed, especially if you know you won't eat it all within the 3-day time period
To heat, place in the microwave, pop the air vent on the lid of the container, and heat in bursts until the chicken is hot in the center.

This show is about what I eat and what my family eats. Not all our family members are Diabetic. So I make food for both categories. You won't see me making any Unhealthy cookies, cakes, or candy. I make what we think is healthy food. For us & our guests, I may have something of a sugar nature like soda pop coca-cola, or Pepsi. But that is not something I drink. This is a show of info and entertainment. It is not intended to cure diabetes, for that contact distension or a doctor. I am not a chef, Doctor, expert, or distension. I am just a cook making food for my family and me.
Diabetes is caused by a beta cell in the beta-hemoglobin gene. Diabetes is a disease. That may be reversed by eating better and exercising.
Beta cells in type 1 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, beta cells die from a misguided attack by the body's immune system How and why that happens is not clear, but the results of a study published in early 2011 suggest that these pancreatic cells become stressed at the earliest stages of the disease process.
