Why it works
- Type 2 diabetes: Protein and vegetables lead the plate, with no added sugar anywhere.
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: No soy, seaweed or gluten: just chicken, vegetables, herbs and olive oil.
- Celiac disease: Every ingredient is naturally gluten-free, with no sauces or stocks to check.
- IBS: Garlic-infused oil keeps the flavour while leaving out garlic and onion pieces.
- Milk allergy: Olive oil does all the work here; there is no milk, butter or cream.
- Wheat allergy: No flour, breadcrumbs or wheat in any form, the crust is the chicken skin.
- Egg allergy: No eggs at any stage, the skin crisps on its own in the oven.
- Gluten-free: Whole ingredients only: chicken, broccoli, carrots, herbs and garlic-infused oil.
- Anti-inflammatory: Olive oil, herbs and plenty of vegetables, with nothing processed.
- Egg-free: The crisp comes from the skin, no egg wash or binder needed.
- Dairy-free: Garlic-infused olive oil and herbs stand in for butter completely.
- No spicy food: Mild oregano and basil only, no chili or hot spice of any kind.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
