Gotta admit – pretty damned proud of myself, as tonight I made yummy gluten-free parmesan chicken for the family (only difference being we swapped in real shredded cheese for the rest of us after I took Benjo’s piece out of the oven.) It was delicious – everyone (esp. Ben) ate every single bite and I realized (yet again) that it’s really not that hard to adapt normal recipes to be gluten and dairy-free.

Ingredients:
- 2-6 frozen chicken breasts (1 per person)
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free pasta sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Italian seasoning & parsley flakes
- gluten-free corn flake crumbs
- shredded Daiya “cheese”
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Mix pasta sauce, brown sugar, honey, Italian seasoning & parsley flakes together.
- Place frozen chicken breasts in dish.
- Sprinkle a light coating of gluten-free corn flake crumbs on top of chicken breasts.
- Cover chicken breasts with sauce.
- Cover entire dish with solid covering of corn flake crumbs again – not entirely covered, but more than a light sprinkling.
- Bake for 60 minutes (or longer, depending on how well cooked chicken is – it should be moist, but not pink, obviously.)
- Sprinkle Daiya cheese over chicken the final 2-3 minutes of cook time. This gives it time to melt and brown if you like it that way.
- Serve (to happy, famished family)
- Bask in the glory of a yummy meal served!
