The Easy Diabetes Diet Plan Cookbook - Chicken, Corn, and Squash Skillet

Chicken, Corn, and Squash Skillet

Ingredients:

Chicken breast

Corn kernel

Yellow onion

Squash

Button mushrooms

Bell peppers

Parsley

Thyme

Cumin

White pepper

Olive oil

Water or low sodium chicken stock

Preparation:

Wash the chicken and slice into small, thin strips like chicken tenders then set aside.

Peel and wash the onion. Peel and wash the squash. Wash the bell peppers, parsley, and thyme. With paper towels, gently clean the mushrooms; don’t wash them.

Chop the onions finely or cut into thin strips. Cut the squash and bell peppers into approximately the same size, about a centimetre. Even-sized ingredients make for even cooking. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and quarter them or slice them. Chop up the parsley and thyme and set aside.

In a medium-sized pan on medium heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil. When the oil is hot enough, add the onions until they are translucent. Add the chicken and sauté; season with white pepper. 

Add the squash and the bell peppers then add a little water or low sodium chicken stock to aid with the cooking process. When the liquid is almost dried up, add the corn, the parsley and the thyme and sauté. Season with cumin.

You can eat this versatile dish by itself but they’re also great with whole wheat nachos if you have some handy.
