My husband was recently diagnosed with a health issue that requires a low sodium & low fat diet. My goal is to create healthy, satisfying & flavorful meals that we can enjoy. I decided it might be a good idea to document the different meals & recipes since they are new to me. I also thought maybe someone else who is on this journey may find them helpful as well.

The first dish I prepared was Chicken Baked in Salsa over Brown Rice Pilaf. I used frozen chicken breasts & a jar of salsa I all ready had on hand. This was very yummy but I noticed the salt. I got out my package of chicken & realized that it had sodium & sugar in it. That was a lesson learned. I now check the packaging on everything. Next time I make this will be with Fresh chicken breasts nothing added. I will also use my own canned salsa or make fresh. The chicken can easily be cooked in a slow cooker. I also think this would taste yummy on whole grain tortilla shells.
