Diabetes-Friendly and Healthy Chicken Salads

 

11. Spiced Grilled Chicken with Cauliflower “Rice” Tabbouleh

Chicken breasts on the grill have a smoky flavor that’s enhanced with an easy spice rub. We chose flat-leaf parsley in this salad because it has a stronger herbal taste than its sometimes-bitter curly counterpart.
