Hi, I love the recipes, but I am concerned that there is no nutritional information available for them. I am a diabetic, so I need to keep an eye on sugar etc. Do you supply nutritional information with any of the recipes?

Can I use the powdered ginger in this dish or do I have to use the fresh ginger? I just cannot find it this time of year, so I keep the dried kind on hand just in case I find something I want to try like this dish. It sounds like exactly the thing I need after a long day at work to take me away from it all.

Hi SissieSass, you can substitute the 1 tablespoon of minced ginger with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, depending on how much ginger flavor you want. I hope that helps! - Natalie, Editor of AllFreeSlowCookerRecipes

I think adding some diced jalapenos for a little extra spice would be a great idea in this recipe and if you're diabetic, retain water or get swelling you'll definitely appreciate the low sodium catsup soy sauce. Also, Quinoa would be a delicious alternative for rice and is extremely diabetic friendly. Plus, if you're watching your diet or avoiding carbs like me...lol, it's loaded with plenty of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals too!

I like my chicken and rice dishes to have a bit more flavor, but this was a good recipe if you need a quick weeknight dinner

I thought the sauce was very flavorful. It wasn't way too sweet like a lot of the sauces you can get.

I liked the flavor of the sauce. It paired quite well with the meat. I'm not sure that there was anything particularly outstanding about this recipe, but it'd be a suitable quick fix during the week.
