I have made this recipe twice, it is so good. Super easy. I like to add more marmalade than the recipe calls for.

Question Can this recipe be prepared with chicken breasts and still considered a diabetic recipe? Thank You

Great question! Yes, chicken breasts can be substituted and considered a diabetic recipe. Remember to pour the mixture on in the beginning, and only bake for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!
