I found this recipe from the American Diabetes Association, tried it and it is so easy and so good. It really falls in place with all of our diets. Thought I would share it.


                                            ASIAN CHICKEN and VEGETABLES

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all visible fat discarded
   and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1 14 ounce can fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
1 8 ounce can bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained
4 ounces snow peas (about 1 cup), trimmed
1/3 cup water and 1 tablespoon water, divided use
4 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped peeled ginger root
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch

     Heat a large non stick saucepan over medium high heat. Pour in the oil, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center, stirring frequently.
     Stir in the broth, bamboo shoots, snow peas, 1/4 cup water, green onions, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger root, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
     Put the cornstarch in a cup. Add the remaing water (1 tablespoon), stirring to disolve.  Stir into the soup. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally

sounds tasty...but as for my program I dont do snow peas...high in sugar and I dont do any kind of real sugar....my sugar count is less than 7 grams ( and splenda or stevia)..now i know some programs are different.
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it

You could possibly substitute another veggie in it's place.

I am more careful then some about my sugar content and for some this would be great...but I also watch my sodium... before wls I wouldnt have thought twice about this...and I was a diabetic..now i think before I eat...

If your worried about sodium, ditch the canned, make your own chicken broth and don't ad salt. Just a suggestion of another option.
