Naturally Gluten-Free



While I spend a great deal of my time creating gluten-free foods (breads, cookies, crackers--you get the point.). I am always so grateful for foods that are naturally gluten-free.

Yesterday was a long day for me. I didn't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen making dinner. After poking around, I found some chicken I had defrosted the day before and a bag of baby Yukon gold potatoes. Wonderful!

I simply browned the chicken a bit in my pan, pulled it out, added the sliced potatoes, and put the chicken on top. A quick drizzle of olive oil and a few garlic cloves also found their way into the pan. Then, I baked it in a 450 degree oven until the potatoes were soft and the chicken was cooked and tender. While the chicken cooked, I went on Facebook. No really. I did. Then I plucked some herbs off my aerogarden to sprinkle over the chicken. Fresh basil and parsley in the middle of an upstate New York March is such a treat, let me tell you!

When the chicken was done, I made a quick salad and sat down to eat. Everything on the table was naturally gluten-free. It's meals like this that make eating gluten-free just a touch easier. And I couldn't be more thankful for them.

I'll post the full recipe later. For now, I'm off to drop off taxes!
