Really Easy Baked Chicken Breasts, Allergy Friendly!

I came up with this recipe at lunch today and thought I'd share it.  You can use pork, chicken, turkey cutlets or even fish.  It is on the "Shake-N-Bake" principle.


Bear in mind, I'm always cooking for a crowd, so I'm just going to approximate it for four servings.


Really Easy Baked Chicken Breasts, Allergy Friendly!


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cooking oil


First, put about 2 tablespoons cooking oil into a dish that is large enough to accommodate your meat, one piece at a time.  Dip the meat into the oil and set it on a baking sheet or someplace else while finishing preparations.  Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 400F.


Sprinkle each piece of meat with an allergy safe seasoning salt (like Adobo) or sea salt and pepper to taste.


In another dish combine about 1/3 cup each of cornstarch and corn meal.  Add about 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings and 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules.  Mix them well, then dip the chicken one piece at a time in the breading mixture.  Coat it thoroughly and shake off the excess.  Place the meat back onto the baking sheet so that the pieces aren't touching.  Bake the chicken for about 30 minutes or until it is becoming golden.


Enjoy!

Allergy Friendly Pancakes! Blueberry version -- Yum!

No wheat, soy, eggs, sugar or dairy in these, but they taste like a hearty buckwheat pancake.  They are especially yummy with blueberries in the batter!


Allergy Friendly Pancakes!  Blueberry version -- Yum!


Combine in a mixing bowl:


1 1/4 cups non-wheat flour mixture
2 tablespoons dextrose
2 teaspoons baking powder


Add:


1 tablespoon ground flax seed combined with 3 tablespoons warm water, allowed to rest about 5 minutes
1/2 cup goats milk or rice milk
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
(up to 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries)


Mix the batter until it is just slightly lumpy.  Bake on a hot griddle as for pancakes.  Makes about two dozen "silver dollar" sized pancakes.


Note:  When I did these originally, I was using barley flour in my flour mix.  If a gluten free mix is being used, I would recommend adding 1 packet of Knox gelatin to the dry ingredients before mixing.

Allergy-friendly Pumpkin Raisin Cookies

Back when I was writing strictly low carb recipes, I made something like these cookies.  They were so good that I destroyed the recipe!  I hope you enjoy these wheat, soy, dairy, egg and sugar free treats.


Allergy-friendly Pumpkin Raisin Cookies


In a mixing bowl with a mixer on medium speed, combine:


1/2 cup lard (or other solid fat you can tolerate)
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
1/2 cup Stevia in the Raw, measurable
2/3 cup dextrose


Add:


1 tablespoon ground flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons warm water, allowed to rest about 5 minutes to thicken
1/2 tablespoon vanilla


Combine then gradually add to the sweetener mixture on medium/low speed:


2 cups flour mixture
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg


Stir in by hand:


1 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)


Scoop by 1/4 cupfuls or ice cream scooper-fulls onto parchment lined baking sheets.  Pat the tops of the cookies to flatten them slightly.  Allow about 2" between cookies.  Bake for about 13 minutes.  The cookies should still be very soft, but not bubbly.  Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to paper towels to cool.  Once cooled, place them into an airtight container with paper towels between each layer of cookies.  Makes about 20 cookies.
