One Pot Cafe Chicken

 This Cafe Chicken is a simple Crock pot or Instant pot meal that is a tummy pleaser.

Cafe chicken requires no special ingredients for Trim Healthy Mama’s and is great for diabetics and those following a low glycemic diet.

Served over some seasoned brown rice or quinoa it makes a wonderfully energizing meal. We really enjoy the Multigrain Medley from Minute Rice.

Over Cauli Rice it becomes low-fat and low carb allowing you to fill up on nutritious food that won’t impact your blood sugars negatively. Add a bit of coconut oil or Stir Fry that Cauli Rice and it becomes a Satisfying meal to feed your family.

“And when using Cauli rice Trim Healthy Mama’s can enjoy a slice of an on plan cheesecake like this Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert or grab a slice of Brownie Caramel Cake to make the meal oh so satisfying.”

 I’ve listed three different methods for making this meal. Personally, I love making it in my Instant Pot Duo60 7 in 1 Multi Cooker.  But I’ve also made this on the stove top and in a crock pot, just to make sure everyone can enjoy it.

I did make this video while preparing it in my Instant Pot, but Fair warning I am still learning how to produce video’s and this one is about 11 minutes long and pretty bad — please don’t feel that you have to watch it, but I would like to put it here if it can help someone.
