Gluten Free Grain Free Jack Chicken Sandwich

 
Gluten Free Grain Free Jack Chicken Sandwich
Makes 4 sandwiches
Recipe by: Christi Silbaugh

For sandwich bread:
1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil

For Sandwich Filling:
1 onion
1 red pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, or 6 tenders
1 tsp italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded jack cheese
lettuce
 
For Greek Ranch:
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp dill

Start out by making your healthy gluten-free, grain-free bread.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Chop the cauliflower florets into chunks and steam them in a steamer or on the stove until slightly soft for 15 minutes. Place in a ricer or grate.
One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Prepare your baking stones, you will need 2, by topping with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together  cauliflower, egg, Parmesan and Mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir.
Transfer to the baking stone or sheet, and using your hands or spatula, pat out into sandwich bread shape
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
Now it is time to stir together your greek yogurt and spices to make a healthy creamy yummy ranch spread for your sandwich. Simply add yogurt and spices to a small bowl and stir. 

Next cook up your chicken. 
Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet. Salt and pepper your chicken and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Cook over medium high heat until done. For me it was 5 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the other side. Set aside and chop up your red pepper and onion.
Mince your garlic. Add oil, onion, red pepper, garlic, salt and pepper to a skillet and cook until the onions are translucent. Just a few minutes. I like them to keep a crunch.
(I will be leaving out the peppers because they don't agree with me)
Add your jack cheese. 
Cut up your chicken and assemble your sandwich. 
Spread some greek ranch spread on one side of the cauliflower bread.
Top with desired amount of lettuce.
Top the other sandwich piece with 1/4 of the cheese, pepper, onion mixture.
Top with chicken.
Put both sides together, and serve!
The bread keeps in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days.

Healthy Gluten-Free Wrap for Lunch Recipe

I'm kind of on a recipe-kick, and thought I'd share some here.
The recipes I'll be sharing are for the Gaps-diet. Which
among other things means that they are gluten-free.
I have Celiac disease (which means I cannot have any gluten at all--I even
have to avoid cross-contamination) and so my interest right now is
in gluten-free recipes.
I shared one yesterday for Bacon and Egg Avocado breakfast...
 
Today I'm sharing a simple lunch recipe that looks sooo yummy!
(and EASY!)
Healthy wrap: 1/2 cup chopped chicken, 3 Tbsp Fuji apples chopped, 2 Tbsp red grapes chopped, 2 tsp honey, 2 Tbsp almond butter. Mix and wrap in a Romaine lettuce leaf.#gfcommunity

Photos of Wintery Lancaster

My husband and I took a trip yesterday to Lancaster, PA.
I was surprised at how much more snow they have on the ground than
us! I couldn't resist snapping a few shots :)
















Love the Amish snowpeople above :)

 This little snow-guy was in an Amish schoolyard...you can see him
in his "natural habitat" below :)











Below you can see the bushes weighed down with ice


There were buzzards everywhere! These guys above...
