  • Diabetes
Ingredients:
    • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (480 g)
    • 1 garlic clove (3 g)
    • 60 mL olive oil
    • 60 mL pomegranate molasses
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1-1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    • Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Preparation:
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half crosswise, making two thin fillets from each breast.
  • Mince the garlic and combine with the remaining ingredients in a zip-top bag; mix well.
  • Add the chicken fillets to the bag. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours or longer, turning occasionally.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill over medium heat until the chicken is done, turning once. Top chicken with fresh thyme sprigs while grilling if desired.
Helpful hints:
  • Use a meat thermometer to determine when the chicken is done. It should reach 75° C.
  • Too cold to grill? Use your broiler to cook the chicken.
  • If you are on a lower protein diet you can reduce the portion to 1 fillet or the amount specified in your meal plan.
  • You may substitute pomegranate molasses with balsamic vinegar.
