Gluten Free Breaded Chicken using Whole Grain Crackers

Image: Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Breasts

Gluten free breaded chicken is no different than regular chicken. I usually use homemade gluten free seasoned bread crumbs, however, this time I wanted something more nutritious. I chose to use Van’s gluten free crackers. They come in several flavors and they’re all whole grain. I used their Lots of Everything flavored crackers. I used chicken breasts for this recipe, however, you can do the same thing with chicken tenders. Meanwhile, they turned out moist and delicious. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Lemon Pie

This gluten free lemon pie is a bit different than lemon meringue pie, as it is a bit creamy – not much, just a tad. In addition, it still maintains a bright yellow color. You can use Greek yogurt, as I list below, or sour cream. Just make sure whichever you use is gluten free. Make additional filling if you are not going to top it with whipped cream or Cool Whip. You have your four choices of gluten free pie crust recipes, very flaky, or two more traditional crusts. Hopefully, you find one that calls for an ingredient you already have in your pantry. Enjoy!

Jerk Chicken (Gluten Free)

Jerk spice is a very hot and spicy seasoning mixture popular in Jamaica. It can be made applied to meat wet or as a dry rub. This gluten free version of jerk chicken can be made with mild peppers. I used canned green chiles. If you’re a brave sole you can use hotter chiles such as habanero and jalepeno peppers*. They pack a deadly heat, but I’ve provided some pointers for you in the tips section. Habanero peppers are the hottest chiles easily found in the U.S. and are a bit tangy. Jalepeno contain a moderate heat in comparison to habanero peppers, but is still too hot for me. They are also a bit sweet, similar to bell peppers. No matter which peppers you use, if you like a bit of spice, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this recipe. Continue reading “Jerk Chicken (Gluten Free)”

Flaky Gluten Free Croissants

I put off developing a recipe for gluten free croissants for way too long. After multiple requests, here it is! I used my new gluten free phyllo dough recipe. Though it calls for superfine rice flour, I will be experimenting in the future with non superfine gluten free flours. I baked them after my husband went to bed one night and left 5 out, loosely covered. with a note stating to have as many as he’d like. I made them with tapioca flour/starch, which I am allergic to. (I had a couple anyways. Oh my!) When I woke up the next morning they were all gone. That night be kept raving them about them. I have never heard him enjoy anything, gluten free, more than these. And he still eats gluten! Meanwhile, I will continue to improve upon this recipe each time I make them. I hope you enjoy them as much we have. Continue reading “Flaky Gluten Free Croissants”

Quick Gluten Free Paella (Without Seafood or Chorizo)

Image: Gluten Free Paella

Any paella, including gluten free paella, usually contains chicken along with seafood and chorizo, however, I don’t care for seafood or the gristle in chorizo. I can only find the lower quality chorizo that contains gristle. Therefore, I skipped the seafood and substitute bacon bits for chorizo. To speed things up, I use instant rice in this paella recipe, but you can use regular, short grain rice. Just cook the paella with enough broth to substitute the amount water you would normally use to cook the rice. I didn’t have any saffron, so I skipped it as well. It turned out delicious! I even caught my husband taking a spoonful on his way to place his plate in the sink after our meal was complete. I told him that is one the highest forms of complements he could pay me. I hope you feel the same way. Enjoy! Continue reading “Quick Gluten Free Paella (Without Seafood or Chorizo)”
