Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, add the chicken broth and grated ginger, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for 2–3 minutes to infuse the liquid.

  2. 2

    Add the bite-size chicken pieces to the simmering broth and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through and remains tender.

  3. 3

    Stir in the carrot matchsticks and zucchini slices, reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are soft but not browned; season lightly with salt if using.

  4. 4

    Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to cool slightly, then stir in the low-fat yogurt until the broth looks lightly creamy and smooth.

  5. 5

    Divide the warm cooked white rice between two shallow bowls, then spoon the chicken, vegetables, and some of the ginger broth over each portion, keeping servings modest.

  6. 6

    Let the bowls sit for 2–3 minutes before eating so the temperature is warm, not hot, which can be easier on a bloated, sensitive stomach.

GLP-1 Tips

  • Eat this slowly and stop when comfortably satisfied; smaller, warm, low-fat meals like this are easier to handle on GLP-1 medications and can reduce bloating compared to heavy, high-fiber or greasy dinners.

Storage

Cool leftovers to room temperature within 1 hour, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of water or broth until just warm, not piping hot, to keep it easy on digestion.
