#GlutenFree Pizza Chicken served with a Fresh Green Salad

Pizza Chicken served with a Fresh Green Salad

It’s not pizza it just tastes like one. I make this for my daughter with chicken tenders because you slip vegetables into the center and she never knows it .I like to serve 2 pieces to adults because they are small pieces of meat. I accompany it with a fresh Green Salad and Yummy Cheesy gluten free sourdough bread. It just warms my stomach with love.


Serves 2 adults 1 child double or triple if you like

Pizza Chicken Ingredients:

5 chicken tenders beaten in two pieces of plastic wrap
5 teaspoons of sun-dried tomato bruschetta (I buy this at Trader Joe's)
5 Mozzarella balls marinated in Basil Olive Oil and sun-dried tomatoes cut in half
1 egg
1 cup glutino bread crumbs or potato chips ground up.
1/3 cup fresh Parsley Chopped
Cooking spray

Equipment:
1 Lined Baking sheet with foil or silpat

10 tooth picks

First beat Chicken tenders and set aside. Next in a separate bowl place gluten free bread crumbs in one bowl and mix together .

Roll up the tender and place tooth pick in center form a cross with other tooth pick to keep bruschetta and cheese inside chicken tender.

In another bowl put egg and whisk together for dipping chicken in. Next place chicken tender roll in beaten egg then in gluten free bread crumbs parsley mixture.

Cook on lined baking sheet and spray with cooking spray .

#GlutenFree Chicken on a bed of Sauerkraut for #SundaySupper Inspired by Paula Deen

I love Paula Deen and I also love that every once in a while we hear from her at #Sunday Supper. So when I heard we needed a recipe that inspired us from our favorite Television Chef I immediately thought about her recipe for Pork in a Pot with Sauerkraut  Then I thought I must make it in Chicken because one I'm not a fan of pork and two I never have a lot of time in my day to cook dinner? I don’t !!! So with my busy schedule of working, raising a family and writing. I fall back on my crock pot as soon as Autumn roles around. Here is a recipe you can make either on your way to work, on low for 8 hours, or if you can stop by home at lunch cook at the high setting for 4 hours. You decide!!!

Chicken on a bed of Sauerkraut Ingredient's:

1  16-Ounce Jar Aunt Nellie's Red Cabbage
4 Chicken breast
Salt and Pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Olive oil
1 Cup dried apricots
2 Granny Smith apples
Slice 1 yellow onion
2 teaspoons of dill weed

Take a Jar of Red Cabbage Sauerkraut and place in bottom of crock Pot.

Next season with Salt and pepper
Brown chicken breast in olive oil

After browned place on top of Cabbage

Sprinkle Apricots on top of Chicken

Next peel and slice Apples and sprinkle on top.

Now place onion on top

Then season with Dill weed and put in crock pot on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours you decide.

I serve on a bed of mashed potatoes. You could also serve with rice you decide.

Gingerbread Decorating Party from 2011

So last year we celebrated Miss J's birthday with a Gingerbread decorating party and she loved it so much that this year we will also have a Gingerbread Decorating Party however it will be with a twist. This year they are making Gingerbread houses that fell on top of  The Wicked Witch from the West in a Wizard of Oz theme.  So I thought I would post last years party for the girls who are attending to get ideas. I hope you enjoy this as much as we will.
 

 We Started by decorating our house with all the trimmings.

Next we set the tables.

Then the girls slowly arrived, Put on there party favor aprons and hats. Miss J was a Santa  and Her B.F.F. was an Elf

We had so much fun and here's the beginning of it all.

  We ate a yummy lunch,  then we started decorating.

                                                                                                 

Fun was had by all!

All the houses were fabulous 

 Especially this one and it wasn't even my daughters it was just Hershey Chocolate Love.

Then we sang Happy Birthday

What a Fabulous Party.........

Enjoy and I hope you to start your holidays off with a Gingerbread decorating Party

In a sauce pan add 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, the juice of a lemon and brown sugar so you have a sweet and savory tasting sauce.
