Gluten-Free Greek Chicken

Well, after talking with an herbalist about our oldest child, Bricker-who has high-functioning Autism- we have started on a gluten-free diet. In the last few days he has only had gluten twice that I know of. Once because he was visiting someone else and they didn't know (our fault) and another time because we forgot and gave him a slice of bread. (oops)After discussing how he has Autism, I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), Punkin' has chronic respiratory issues as well as Eczema, Jerome Bettis (JB) has some of the same respiratory stuff as does Shamu. In fact, the only one who doesn't seem to have any issues at ALL is Muffin. Wow. 5th one's the charm? So, the herbalist said we would ALL benefit from the gluten-free diet. No harm in trying, right? So, from time to time I will post some recipes... most of which probably will be gluten-free, and will label them so they're easy to find on the bloggy.

Here is one we tried last night.. I modified it just a little to make it more to our taste.

Greek Chicken

(Cooking spray)
½ c chopped onion (I always use more... onion is good for you!)
2 zucchini, halved lengthwise & sliced thin (I don't like zucchini but I sucked it up and ate some anyway. Not bad.)
1 lb or so of boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced thin
(½ c white cooking wine)
(2 t oregano, ¼ t pepper)
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
¼ c crumbled feta cheese
½ c (or one of those small cans would be better!) sliced black olives *olives make the world go-round people!*

Preheat oven to 475°.
Coat 9x13” baking dish
with cooking spray.

Heat large skillet, coated with
cooking spray, over med-high heat. Add onion &
zucchini; sauté 3-4 min or until tender. In large
bowl combine sautéed vegetables, chicken, wine,
oregano, pepper & tomatoes. Spoon mixture into
baking dish. Top with cheese. Bake 12-13 min or
until chicken is cooked & mixture is bubbly.

*Side Ideas*
Make some "5-min a day" crusty bread and home-made butter because there will be lots of yummy juiciness left in your bowl/plate and you won't want to waste that!
