We have pulled some of our favorite one-pot, diabetes-friendly recipes that are low in carbohydrate—with under 15 grams per serving. From the Garlic Roasted Salmon & Brussels Sprouts to Basil-Tomato Chicken Skillet, there are plenty of crave-worthy dinners to try. 01 of 17 Basil-Tomato Chicken Skillet View Recipe Quick cooking chicken tenderloins and packaged spinach make this dinner recipe come together in just 25 minutes. 02 of 17 Garlic Roasted Salmon & Brussels Sprouts View Recipe Roasting salmon on top of Brussels sprouts and garlic, flavored with wine and fresh oregano, is simple enough for a weeknight meal yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with whole-wheat couscous. 03 of 17 Poached Cod & Green Beans with Pesto View Recipe Using just one skillet, this easy fish recipe cooks cod right on top of fresh green beans and uses the same pan to make a flavorful sauce. The result is perfectly flaky fish, tender-crisp vegetables, a savory pan sauce and very little cleanup. 04 of 17 Homemade Chicken Ramen Noodle Bowls View Recipe Transform canned chicken noodle soup into quick ramen bowls by adding fresh ginger, crunchy vegetables, herbs and a jammy soft-boiled egg. Look for a low-sodium soup that has 450 mg sodium or less per serving. 05 of 17 Peanut-Coconut Shaved Carrot Noodles View Recipe Thinly shaved carrots stand in for wide rice noodles in this Thai-inspired low-carb "noodle" dish. Try using red, purple, or yellow carrots for a colorful twist. 06 of 17 Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup View Recipe This easy slow-cooker chicken noodle soup is chock-full of vegetables and noodles, and gets extra creaminess from a little light cream cheese. 07 of 17 Garlic-Sautéed Shrimp View Recipe Peeled shrimp may be convenient, but here the shells--and heads if you are lucky enough to find them still on--are transformed into a quick stock that adds a boost of flavor. Serve the garlic-sautéed shrimp as an appetizer or use them as a topping for pasta or risotto. 08 of 17 Pork Medallions with Cranberry-Onion Relish View Recipe Ready in just 30 minutes, this pork tenderloin dish will please the whole family! 09 of 17 Snapper Piccata View Recipe Lean snapper in a buttery lemon-caper sauce is a simple main dish, ready in just 30 minutes. 10 of 17 Classic Dill Chicken Salad View Recipe We lightened up the creamy dressing in this healthy chicken salad recipe with a combo of mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt. Dill, grapes, celery and walnuts make up this classic chicken salad but feel free to experiment with your favorite fruit, vegetables and herbs. Serve it open-face on toasted bread or scoop it on top of fresh salad greens. 11 of 17 One-Pot Garlicky Shrimp & Broccoli View Recipe Photography / Kelsey Hansen, Styling / Greg Luna Shrimp cooks quickly in this easy, one-pot recipe, making it perfect for busy weeknights. Serve over whole grains or rice. 12 of 17 One-Pan Chicken & Asparagus Bake View Recipe photography / Caitlin bensel, Food Styling / Emily Nabors Hall In this chicken and asparagus bake recipe, we use one baking sheet to whip up dinner quickly, veggies included. Pounding the chicken thin helps it cook quickly alongside the carrots and potatoes, with asparagus rounding out the meal. 13 of 17 Skillet Lemon Chicken & Potatoes with Kale View Recipe This easy one-pan skillet-roasted lemon chicken is perfect for weeknight dinners. Juicy chicken thighs are cooked in the same pan as baby potatoes and kale for a satisfying meal with the added bonus of minimal cleanup. 14 of 17 Sheet-Pan Salmon with Sweet Potatoes & Broccoli View Recipe photography / Caitlin bensel, Food Styling / Emily Nabors Hall The vibrant combo of cheese, cilantro, chili, and lime—inspired by Mexican street corn—makes this salmon sheet-pan dinner burst with flavor. 15 of 17 Creamy Chicken, Brussels Sprouts & Mushrooms One-Pot Pasta View Recipe Photography / Kelsey Hansen, Styling / Sammy Mila You'll only have to dirty one pot in this easy pasta recipe that cooks chicken and vegetables right along with the noodles. Plus, by using the exact amount of water you need to cook the pasta, the starch that usually gets drained off with your pasta water stays in the pot, giving you delectably creamy results. 16 of 17 Kadhai Murghi (Wok-Seared Chicken & Vegetables ) View Recipe This stir-fry is typical of Northern Indian cuisine, with its emphasis on fresh vegetables. Because the cooking happens quickly it's a good idea to measure out and prepare all the ingredients in this recipe before you fire up the wok. 17 of 17 Chicken & White Bean Soup View Recipe Once again, rotisserie chickens can really relieve the dinner-rush pressure-especially in this Italian-inspired soup that cries out for a piece of crusty bread and a glass of red wine.
