@kjc48 Karla, Thanks so much for this, and I appreciate ANY dinner tips you’d like to share! We do take advantage of rotisserie chickens, and I know they are higher in sodium so not too often. We pair them with a big salad, and still have leftovers! And I do hear you on the tech part…so sorry you were hacked. That’s my greatest fear, also. Thanks to advice from someone on here, reminding me what I already knew, we did freeze our credit, to that is one thing I feel good about. And how nice that you got such a wonderful message on your Mother’s Day card! Take good care. I’m off to jot down the Chicken Parm suggestion.😊

@2me I know you know this......non seasoned chickens, I find from Sprouts are low in sodium. or take chicken breasts, with skin on, salt pepper them with olive oil on top. Bake 35 minutes and bring out. The white meat will be tender, you can alter the amount of salt (Ina Garten does them this way). Also with the chicken, you can make broccoli and swiss cheese stuffed chicken:
Pound 2 (makes four( chicken breasts thin, coat both sides in 1/2 cup Italian Style breadcrumbs and 1/3 Parmesan cheese, ,add one slice of swiss to the chicken (I use ultra thin) then some pieces of frozen broccoli. Roll them, put them in Italian breadcrumb mixture. Add the rolls to baking dish, one piece of butter on the chicken, thin slices of swiss-cheese on the top, and bake for 50 minutes. These are delicious, and good for you protein, you can modify the amount of swiss you use. Don't like swiss, use the ultra thin; it's delish. Then I take boxed chicken low sodium gravy. and douse it when I serve it.
Best, Karla (PS, I won't give out anymore recipes unless our caregiver community wants them). I know this site is for far more than a recipe, but meal planning is such a big, time consuming thing for us caregivers dealing with what to make and whether they will eat it!
