PCOS and Jicama (Mexican Turnip): A Nutritious Addition to Your Diet
Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.
2 medium Chicken Thighs, bone in skin on
1 tsp. Ground Ginger
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1/4 cup Peanuts
1/2 medium Green Pepper
2 large Spring Onions
4 red Bird’s Eye Chilis, de-seeded
SAUCE
1 tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 tsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp. Chili Garlic Paste
1 tbsp. Reduced Sugar Ketchup
2 tsp. Sesame Oil
1/2 tsp. Maple Extract
10 drops Liquid Stevia
1. Debone chicken using kitchen shears. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and ground ginger.
2. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and once very hot, add chicken. Let chicken cook until browned (about 10 minutes). I advise using a splatter screen or covering the pan with paper towels as there will be grease splash-back.
3. Chop up and prep vegetables and chilis. Set aside.
4. Prepare sauce by combining all ingredients together and mixing well.
5. Once the chicken is browned, stir everything together and let cook for a few minutes more. Add vegetables and peanuts to the pan and allow to cook down (about 3-4 minutes).
6. Add sauce to the pan and let it boil down to reduce slightly. It should have almost a sticky texture once done.
7. Serve on top of your favorite side dish. For us, it’s fried cauliflower rice!
