Ingredients

For 2 people

300 g skinless chicken breast
1 tablespoon low-fat natural yogurt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
4 tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon rapeseed oil
2 large red onions, quartered
1 red pepper, cut into 8 pieces

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Cube the chicken and add to a bowl with the yogurt, paprika, cumin and turmeric, then mix well to coat the chicken.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with garam masala.
Lightly oil a baking tray and arrange the onion and pepper evenly over it, place the chicken pieces on the onion and pepper, and arrange the tomatoes on top.
Roast for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, and serve with a brown rice (preferable in terms of sugar load – see the section on Healthy Living Recommendations) or salad without forgetting to top up your dish with 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger and mix before enjoying.

Preparation and dosage

Ginger should be consumed 3 times daily, during or after each meal:

As a dried powder: 0.5 g to 1 g (equal to ½ to 1 teaspoon) 3 times per day (equal to total daily dose of 1.5 g to 3 g). Same dose if taken in the form of capsules.

As a fresh root: 2.5 g (equal to a 1.5 cm cube) to 5 g 3 times per day (equal to total daily dose of 7.5 g to 15 g).

Note: 1 g dry powder corresponds to 5g fresh root.

To our knowledge, there is no data indicating that it is possible to consume ginger cooked, steamed, stir-fried, or baked without losing its hypoglycaemic activity; we recommend consuming it fresh or in powder form only (if in a dish: add it at the end of the preparation).
