Salt & Pepper Chip Crusted Chicken

by

My latest obsession is salt and pepper potato chips, I know it’s not the healthiest of snacks but sometime you just have to be bad. So I decided to turn my bad into a not so bad but very yummy crispy chicken that is baked, see, so sent back to a bit healthy. This chicken is great for a picnic, easy dinner or just a snack.

Salt & Pepper Chip Crusted Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Salt and Pepper potato chips – crushed
  • 2 eggs with a little water whisk together
  • 1/2 cup Pamela’s Gluten free flour
  • and of course chicken – I used 6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs, but you could use your favorite cut of chicken or even chicken tenders (just remember to adjust the cooking time for the thickness of the chicken you are using.
  1. Preheat oven to 400 – place baking sheet in oven to heat up while oven is getting warm and you are dredging the chicken.
  2. Place each dry ingredient in a separate dredge bowl, dip chicken into the flour, then egg, then crushed chips. Place the crusted chicken on a cooling rack while completing the dredging.
  3. Using a pot holder remove heated baking sheet from oven, place chicken on it and bake at 400 for 25 to 30 minutes.

Best Turkey Gravy (if I do say so myself)

by

Miss the gravy over your turkey, well miss it no more. This is a very easy gravy to make and can be made a day ahead so all you have to do is reheat it (so if you are going to a Thanksgiving feast where the gravy will be made with regular flour you can bring your own gravy and therefore not feel left out or have to eat dry turkey).

 

Best Turkey Gravy (if I do say so myself)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 sweet onion – thinly sliced
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 whole garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons Pamela’s Gluten Free Flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups turkey broth
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pan add the olive oil and garlic cloves. Let oil heat and garlic cook for about 5 minutes…do not let the garlic burn. Remove the cooked garlic from the oil and add the sliced onion, sprinkle with salt and cook until nicely browned about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the cooked onions to a food processor and puree well.
  2. In the same pan add the butter and flour and whisk for 3 to 5 minutes until the flour taste is cooked off. Add the turkey broth to the pan and cook until all ingredients are well combined and a beautiful brown color – again about 7 to 10 minutes. Add the pureed onions, salt and pepper to taste, stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. And now you have a fantastic gravy.
  3. Note: this gravy is made without the turkey drippings as I am assuming that they will be used for the gluten gravy…but if you are lucky enough to be able to add the drippings just reduce the amount of turkey broth.
  4. this gravy could also be made with chicken broth for a roasted chicken dinner.
