Slow Cooker Recipe
Chicken with Applesauce
We are offering a class in March and April on diabetic cooking, so we’ve been looking for recipes. Ideally, these recipes are friendly for people who are eating a diabetic diet, but yet so flavorful that they seem indulgent. We found many great recipes in the Fix-It and Forget-It Diabetic cookbook – too many, in fact, to include in one lunch class.
So we thought we’d share with you a recipe that we aren’t including in the class. Chicken with Applesauce met our requirements and, when served on rice, makes such a wonderful dinner that no one will know that it is healthy as well!

Do you have the nutrition break down for this ???? This looks great but I was just wondering what the calories and carbs were.
Sounds great. Can’t wait to try it.
gotta try this one.Sounds good.and the ingredients are simple.have them all on hand,
how is this indulgent? what is special about it? I want to know before I try to make it.
> Carol, I am guessing that it is thought “indulgent” because it would have a little sweetness to it from the applesauce. For some of us who can’t have much, if any, sugar, it might seem that way, though probably not so much for the rest of the world.
Someone please try it and let us know how it is!
Sounds good to me. I might also add some onions, red sweet peppers and pineapple with a little soy sauce.
I agree….red onions, sweet bell peppers, pineapple and soy sauce would definitely make this a great dish!
Really appreciate the diabetic recipes, but could you include # of carbs for us carb counters? This sounds good, and I will definately try it.
This recipe looks amazing! I’ll need to try this real soon!
