This recipe for Lemon Chicken with Olives is one of my standby "ready in 20" recipes that I know everyone will eat. It's easy and heartwarming. I got it from Real Simple years ago.
Well now that I'm officially Gluten Free, I'm having to adapt things to accommodate. And this particular recipe was even better without the gluten.
Ingredients I changed:
All-purpose flour
- I used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend instead. I also added a little Golden Flax Seed and Almond Meal hoping that would help give the chicken a little crisp.
- I buy whole chicken breasts and cut them down myself because I don't like to pay extra for someone to do that for me. You could easily use thighs and legs to keep it even cheaper.
- I used onion. I sliced it thinly on my mandolin. Easy.
- I didn't have any, so I didn't use any. It was perfectly fine without!
The curious thing for me was that the gluten free flour didn't stick to the pan like wheat flour does, but it thickened the sauce perfectly and tasted so delicious. I served it with white rice because I had to make dinner fast. Obviously brown rice would be better, but I didn't have the time!
Marco agreed this was better than I've ever made it, and the kids all ate it up. Plus, I have leftovers for lunches for me!
