Orange-Glazed Chicken

Diabetic Recipes

Start with a reduced-sugar marmalade for a simple, sweet-tasting glaze that’s lower in carbohydrates and delicious on both chicken and pork. To complete the meal, just add rice pilaf and grilled asparagus.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Grilling Time: 12 to 25 minutes

Yield: Serves 2

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (8 to 12 ounces total)
  • No-stick cooking spray

Glaze:

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sugar orange marmalade
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped green onion
  • 1 small clove garlic, crushed (1/4 teaspoon)
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  1. Preheat gas grill to medium for direct grilling. Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
  2. For glaze, stir together glaze ingredients in small bowl.
  3. Lightly coat chicken with no-stick spray. Grill chicken, uncovered, for 6 minutes. Turn chicken over; spoon and spread glaze on top. Grill for 6-9 minutes more or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
