On this journey of learning how to manage insulin resistance, I'm always looking for ways to have my cake and eat it. I've been experimenting
Oven-baked Crisp Crumbed Chicken Fillets
Fat-free yoghurt and lean chicken breast assuaged any guilt associated with using a big bag of potato crisps as a crumb coating. It really made for tasty chicken, and if you ever run out of bread crumbs or your regular coating, the crisps are a good substitute.

Strawberry and Buttermilk Muffins
