Finding delicious and filling diabetes-friendly recipes can be challenging. However, this chicken and avocado salsa dish is a great option for those looking for a high protein meal that is low calorie and low carb.

Avocado is a healthy fat. In fact, avocados are 80% fat by calories. They are also high in fiber. These traits make avocados a satiating food.

If you want to make the meal more substantial and prevent evening cravings, consider adding chickpeas or black beans. These will boost the protein content and add extra density to keep you satisfied longer.
