Gluten Free Homemade Chicken Schnitzel


Being Gluten Free I am limited to what and where I can eat out, so  I improvise and make my own restaurant style food at home. This time it was Chicken Schnitzel otherwise known as Crumbed Chicken.  I am a free style kind of cook, I rarely follow a recipe exactly  and guess the quantities of the ingredients  I use and more often than not it turns out really good. I guess you can say I'm good at guessing. Baking I do follow the recipe.  So the Cheese Sauce  is a guessing game of quantities.                                        

INGREDIENTS:
Chicken Breasts for the amount of people present for the meal
Crumbs (Gluten Free or Normal) I used Orgran                      
2 eggs beaten for dipping Chicken Breasts into  
Oil for deep frying 

Cheese Sauce:
about 50g of Butter  melted in a pot on low
Corn flour - enough to thicken
milk about a cup to 2 cups
Cheese- as much as you would like
Simmer until it's thickened
Season as you like.
                                                                     

Dip the chicken breasts into the beaten eggs : both sides so that the crumbs will stick to it.

                                             The crumbs I use


 Dip and coat the Chicken breasts in the crumbs.

Heat the oil and deep fry on both sides to cook through.
Cook any veg that you want to serve with your meal. With this I cooked up some potato wedges and some Eggplant/Brinjal. It's also fantastic served with Creamed Spinach instead of a Cheese Sauce.


YUM!
And just for fun, my cat once again inspecting things this time Finlay :)

Enjoy this quick and simple Gluten Free Meal :)

Divine Creamy Chicken & Avo Pasta

Hello
Last night I made this pasta, I seem to make it about once a month or so, It's Mark's favourite and the pasta he requests it the most. I adjusted the original recipe I found to make it Gluten free and I added in some feta. Don't you just love the combination of feta and avo? Or  if you're not an Avo fan the Creamy Chicken is yummy all by its self too.



INGREDIENTS:
 serves 2

250ml cream
2 chicken breasts cut into strips
1 chicken stock cube
1 diced onion
some butter for frying the onion
pasta for 2 people
1 whole avo
feta

Fry up the onion and partially cook the chicken strips,season to your liking
Break up the stock cube into the pan and add in the cream.
Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked. If it needs some help to thicken stir in some corn flour.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta, top with sliced/diced avo and feta.

This truly is the YUMMIEST pasta ever!
