During my pregnancy, I loved cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients. And this Springtime Chicken Sauté was one of my favorite dishes to make. It was a delightful blend of tender chicken, vibrant spring vegetables, and a light, flavorful sauce. Plus, it was gestational diabetes-friendly, which made it even better.
