Unbelievable Chicken Recipe

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).

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
