Breaded Chicken with Gravy


Chicken, gravy and mashed potatoes is another family favorite! This is what we call fried chicken in our family because we don't eat traditional fried chicken. This is simply baked chicken with a nice crunchy crust. You can use this to create an awesome gluten free meal or maybe you just want to enjoy a healthier option than frying chicken.
Ingredients:
1/3 c plain yogurt (Greek or homemade works best because it's thicker)
1 egg
1/4 c milk (I use coconut milk but almond milk or white milk is fine too)
2 cups corn flakes, crushed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Whisk yogurt, egg, and milk on a large plate. The mixture shouldn't be too thin or it won't stick to the chicken. Add a little more yogurt if it's too thin. 
  • Rinse the chicken breasts and remove the excess water with a paper towel. 
  • Pour corn flakes into a large plastic baggie, seal it and using a rolling pin, roll over the top of the baggie until the corn flakes are crushed and look like crumbs. 
  • Roll the chicken in the liquid mixture so both sides are covered.
  • Place chicken in the baggie with the corn flakes, seal the top and shake the bag until the chicken is covered in corn flake crumbs. Repeat with each piece of chicken.
  • Place chicken on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350F for an hour. That's it!
Serve with your favorite side dishes, we like mashed potatoes and gravy! I always make gluten free gravy because it is actually better than any traditional gravy, and it doesn't give you that heavy feeling after you eat it. Here's the recipe if you want to try something different.
Gravy Instructions: 
2 c chicken stock or broth
1/4 c white rice flour (you can use all purpose flour if you don't want need gluten free)
1/2 c milk (coconut, almond, or white milk)
Seasoning to taste such as coarse ground pepper and sea salt
In a small to medium pan, boil the chicken stock over medium heat on the stove. I use a glass measuring cup to mix the flour and milk together. Slowly add the flour to the stock and whisk as you are adding.Turn the heat down on the stove and keep whisking until your gravy starts to thicken. It usually takes a couple of minutes. It depends on how thick you like your gravy, but you may want to add more flour and milk. The key to lumpy free gravy, is to mix your flour and cold milk first before you add them to the stock. Enjoy!
Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan. Add raisins.  Microwave milk and butter about 4 minutes on 60% power or heat in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon.

Grilled Orange Roughy

My favorite food choices are often related to family memories, so I wanted to share one of our favorite grilled fish recipes. Our Dad used to take us fishing and we grew up eating the fish we caught ourselves. Then came the time when we had to start buying fish, I searched for types of fish that didn't taste too "fishy". It's hard to accomplish that in the Midwest, we don't always have many choices. We were introduced to orange roughy during a trip to San Diego where my great-uncle treated us to some of the most wonderful seafood we had ever eaten at an establishment called Anthony's. It was the first time we had eaten orange roughy and it was white, flaky and not too fishy tasting. After a few experiments, this is my favorite method to prepare it at home. Serves 4 or 2 with leftovers! Ingredients: 4 orange roughy fillets 1/4 c fresh cilantro, I use a small handful * if you are not a cilantro fan use fresh dill, about 1/4 c chopped 2 tsp garlic powder o...

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...
