More Gluten-Free Chinese Food

I'm still getting recipes from the folks who attended this year's Celiac Support Group pot luck dinner. I realize I just did a big thing on Chinese foods, but someone submitted this recipe for GF sweet and sour chicken, so I thought I'd add it to the posts:

Sweet & Sour Chicken:

2-20 oz cans pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice)

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup Tamari sauce

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries

Bring pineapple juice to a boil.  Add brown sugar, vinegar and soy sauce. Mix cornstarch with cold water, add to pot, stirring until thick. Add cooked, chopped chicken pieces (pork or beef can be used as substitutes). Add pineapple tidbits. When boiling, turn heat down to low. Add peppers and cherries just before serving; they bleach out fast.

If you don't have enough liquid, add some pineapple juice or orange juice.  Serve over Rice.

The sauce makes 1/2 gallon. This is a great recipe to use with meatballs as well.

There was also a fabulous spicy Thai noodle dish at our potluck. Here’s the link to the website they used for that recipe. However, the chef substituted regular noodles for GF noodles and soy sauce for Tamari sauce. 

Finally, I've been faithfully posting recipes and GF food tips for about a year now, but it looks like my book will soon be published. I need to focus on its promotion for a while. Since this site gets very few visitors, I'm putting it on the back burner, so to speak. However, I do use this site as a sort of recipe storage zone for myself. So I may check in periodically.

But don't be surprised if my posts become less frequent for a while.

Meanwhile, remember to visit my educational blog, English Emporium for details about my book's publication. Thanks!

Gluten-Free Chicken Lasagna You'll Never Forget

Our local celiac support group has an annual potluck every summer. We just had ours last week, and this chicken lasagna dish was, by far, my favorite casserole there.

A lady named Kirsten brought this dish. She's one of the best chefs this side of the Pecos. Her family runs a GF store in Boise, and this is a link to their web page.

Anyway, here's the GF chicken lasagna you'll never forget:

Chicken Lasagna Recipe

1 cooked, boned chicken, diced

1 (8oz.) pkg. cream cheese

2 cans or 3 cups gf cream of condensed chicken soup

2/3 cup milk

1 pt. sour cream

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. poultry seasoning

1 (10 oz.) pkg. gf lasagna noodles cooked al dente

1/2 lb. shredded Mozzarella

bread crumbs (ample)- or chex cereal blended finely

 

Combine chicken, cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream, salt, and poultry seasoning in a saucepan and stir over low-medium heat until well blended and cream cheese is melted. Pour a small amount of this sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Layer with noodles, sauce, and cheese- repeat until all noodles, sauce, and cheese are gone. Hopefully cheese is your last layer- sprinkle with the bread crumbs and bake @350 30-45 minutes.
