Lemon-Herb Chicken
Lemons, part of the citrus family, are on the American Diabetes Association’s list of diabetes superfoods because they are high in soluble fiber and vitamin C. Soluble fiber helps stabilize blood-sugar levels, which helps people with diabetes better manage their condition. Lemons are a great addition to recipes, providing flavor to food without the need for salt or sugar.
