Helpful hints

Serve with white rice and green beans for a complete kidney friendly meal.
Use Splenda® Brown Sugar Blend to reduce carbohydrate content if you have diabetes.
Another way to reduce carbohydrate is to substitute 1-1/2 cups of frozen cranberries in place of whole-berry cranberry sauce and add low calorie sweetener to desired sweetness.
For a lower sodium dish use no added salt ketchup without potassium chloride.
Cut large chicken breast-halves in half for 6 pieces.
Use chicken thighs or legs if you like dark-meat chicken.
Adjust the chicken portion to match your meal plan if you are on a lower protein diet.
