This is absolutely my favorite chicken recipe ever. It is the ultimate no-fuss gourmet recipe. It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and you don't have to stand over the stove every minute. I hope that everyone enjoys this as much as my family and I do. Even my 5 and 3 year old daughters love it.

It may sound difficult to some, but, try it, it's really not! :D

As far as I can tell, it's completely gluten-free!

Grilled Chicken and Tomato-Basil Rice Pilaf

Served with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce and Reduced Balsamic Vinegar

2 cups heavy cream

6 cloves roasted garlic, smashed

1 cup balsamic vinegar

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, trimmed

2 cups rice

4 cups water

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 roma tomatoes, diced

6-8 fresh basil leaves, ripped

Salt

Pepper

1. Place rice in sauce pan, add the olive oil and toss to coat each grain.

2. Add water and bring to a boil. Cover.

3. Place heavy cream and roasted garlic in a sauté pan. Bring to a boil.

4. Place balsamic vinegar in a small sauté pan. Bring to a boil.

5. Grill chicken. (minimum temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.) Cover with foil to keep warm.

6. Dice the roma tomatoes and rip the basil leaves.

7. Check on the balsamic vinegar. To do this, dip the bottom of a spoon into the pan, then run your finger through the sauce on the spoon, if the vinegar does not fill in the mark left from your finger immediately, it is done. Remove from heat and place in a GLASS container.

8. Check on cream sauce. It is done when there are dime sized bubbles when boiling. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and place in a serving container.

9. Uncover rice. Add tomatoes and basil. Stir gently with a fork to fluff.

10. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving container.

To Serve:

Place a serving of rice pilaf and chicken on a plate. Ladle garlic cream sauce over chicken and drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction.

Enjoy!

You can also make this without the cream sauce, for those who cannot do dairy.

Looks fantastic--I've gotta try it! Do you marinate the chicken in anything before grilling or just grill it naked?

Just season it with salt and pepper, possibly brush it with some olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill, and ta-da!

I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as my family and I do. It's fantastic!

You can completely leave out the cream sauce and just serve it with the reduced balsamic. If you do want to use rice or soy milk, you would need to add something to it as a thickener, but it would work.

Do you have to roast the garlic, or can you just use 6 smashed cloves of raw garlic?

You don't have to roast it if you don't want to, you can just smash it raw. Roasted is just my personal opinion, but some days when I don't have time to roast some garlic, I just smash it with my knife and throw it in. :D

I made it tonight! It was INSANELY good! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

The only changes I made were to use bottled minced garlic in the cream sauce and instead of salt, I used parmesan cheese (hee hee).

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      I sure appreciate the information. I knew there had to be gluten consumption for the blood test, but I did not realize that also applied to biopsies. Thank you so much for that nugget of knowledge. I look forward to learning more as I dive into this website and the collective knowledge, experience, and wisdom from those who have gone before and/or those...

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in ...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also ...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      A lot of gluten-free packaged foods do rely on extra sugar, starches, or sodium to replace texture and flavor, so focusing on simpler options makes sense. Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those...

I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A low tTG is great news, but it doesn’t always mean the small intestine has fully healed yet—iron and vitamin D absorption can lag behind for months or even years, especially in young children. Many kids need supplements for a period of time while the gut repairs itself, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be lifelong. Morning stomach pain is also commonly reported in celiac kids and can be related to slow healing, reflux, motility, or even low iron itself. It sounds like the supplements are clearly helping, which is reassuring, and ongoing monitoring with her doctor can help determine when (or if) doses can be reduced as absorption improves. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

Many people do better with naturally gluten-free proteins like eggs, plain yogurt, nuts, seeds, hummus, beans, and minimally processed protein bars with lower added sugar and higher fiber. Pairing those with whole foods can help you feel more “normal” without triggering symptoms. Subscription boxes can be hit or miss, so checking labels carefully and using them as an occasional supplement—rather than a staple—often works best.
