I would follow a regular recipe, omit the potatoes and add lots of
veggies - zuchini, yellow squash, mushrooms, peppers, carrots (if you
can), celery or celery root - just about anything will work in stew or
roasts. I often roast a chicken for about an hour, remove from the pan
to a plate, add a bunch of mixed veggies in the bottom of the pan, and
place the chicken back into the pan on top of the veggies. Roast for
an additional 30-45 minutes. I season all with garlic, onion powder,
and then a saltless spice mix - either one designed for chicken or a
Mrs. Dash brand. I roast the chicken with some stock or water in the
bottom of the pan - you may need to add more when you add the veggies.
I cover it with foil the last 15 minutes or so, sometimes, too.
Also check out the Sugar Busters diet book - lots of good info.
