PORTUGUESE-STYLE CHICKEN

0 vote

I created this Portuguese-style chicken recipe for a lunch event we went to for the launch of Bayer’s Powered by Accuracy campaign, for which Alex is an ambassador.

It’s the perfect recipe for people with diabetes. I’ll add it to the Diabetes section on our website, which I’m hoping to add more to over the next few months.
