Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Steamed Chicken With Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Makes: 4 servings
Serving Size: 1 packet
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
Parchment paper or aluminum foil
1/2 cup peeled, grated carrots
1/2 cup unpeeled, grated zucchini
1/2 cup unpeeled, grated yellow squash
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion or red onion
1 Tbsp. minced fresh thyme
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (4 oz. each, about 1/2 inch thick)
12 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, lightly patted dry
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar (the thicker the better)
2 tsp. olive oil
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Tear or cut the parchment paper into four 12- to 14-inch squares.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and thyme, 1/4 tsp. of the salt, and 1/4 tsp. of the black pepper. Divide the vegetables equally among the parchment squares.
3. Lay the chicken cutlets over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chicken with the remaining salt and black pepper. Place three sun-dried tomatoes on each piece of chicken. Drizzle each serving with the balsamic vinegar and oil. Pull one side of a parchment square over the chicken and veggies, and seal the parchment with narrow double folds. Place the parchment packages on a baking sheet.
4. Bake the chicken about 20 minutes or until cooked through. The packets may puff up slightly while cooking. Place the packets on individual dinner plates. Ask the diners to carefully open their packets- hot steam will be released.
