Total time
Author: Maryann Ridini Spencer
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 -6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- package of multi-colored quinoa
- 1 small onion, peeled and sliced thin
- ½ c. Chardonnay
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 2 T. Dijon mustard (Grey Poupon is gluten free)
- freshly squeezed lemon juice
- garlic salt and pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil or oil spray
Instructions
- Cook multi-colored quinoa for 4 per package instructions.
- Wash chicken breasts. If a chicken breast is thicker in some parts than others, pound it with a meat mallet (between 2 pieces of wax paper) so that the chicken breasts are of even thickness.
- In a non-stick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat, add a little olive oil (or a touch of oil spray) to the pan.
- Sauté sliced onions until they are slightly golden.
- When onions are done, remove from the skillet and place aside on a dish.
- Without washing the skillet, add in a little more olive oil (or spray to the pan) and place chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook chicken until slightly golden (approximately 7-12 minutes or so). As the chicken cooks, turn it occasionally so the chicken browns evenly on both sides and be careful not to overcook the chicken.
- Turn skillet heat to low.
- Add in Chardonnay, heavy cream and stir.
- Add in cooked onions, mustard and lemon juice.
- Stir mixture.
- Add garlic salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer mixture for approximately 5 minutes.
- With a fork or server, remove individual pieces of chicken from the cream mixture, placing each piece of chicken over a plate of steaming quinoa.
- Pour a bit of the cream mixture over the top of each piece of chicken.

gluten free society genetic test
Fresh goat cheese is delicious; and tangy, and there are many varieties of real cheese that are safe (Again- check labels for additives, fillers or flavorings- these are possible culprits).
So, try to get involved with the habit of smoking of always transporting
certain gluten-free snacks around along with you anywhere you go,
and departing them within the vehicle, or perhaps in your bag,
as well as at the desk at the office, to ensure that if you achieve just a little hungry, you are able to eat something you realize that the body will
have the ability to tolerate. If you can’t find one you should check
the rest of the label to find out if the yogurt if gluten free or not.
