A salad maybe? I was going to suggest the mandarin pasta chicken salad - but the pasta would be flour.
You could do the chicken in the microwave - there's a bit of flour in the seasoning, but she could peel off the skin and eat it....and then do the Strawberry Spinach salad with it! Have the chicken roasting in the Microwave while you do the salad demo. I just did this combo a few weeks ago for some older ladies - and they were totally sold!
