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).

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I only went on the multi vitamin AFTER a couple of year of high dose, targeted supplementation resolved most of my deficiencies.  I was on quite a cocktail of vitamins that was changed every 6 months as my deficiencies resolved.  Those that were determined to be genetic are still addressed with specific doses of those vitamins, minerals and amino acids. I have an update on my husband and his A Fib.  He ended up in the hospital in August 2025 when his A Fib would not convert.  He took the maximum dose of Flecainide allowed within a 24 hour period.  It was a nightmare experience!  They took him into the ER immediately.  They put in a line, drew blood, did an EKG and chest Xray all within minutes.  Never saw another human for 6 hours.  Never got any results, but obviously we could see he was still in A fib by watching the monitor.  They have the family sign up for text alerts at the ER desk.  So glad I did.  That is the only way we found out that he was being admitted.  About an hour after that text someone came to take him to his room on an observation floor.  We were there two hours before we saw another human being and believe it or not that was by zoom on the TV in the room.  It was admissions wanting to know his vaccine status and confirming his insurance, which we provided at the ER desk.  They said someone would be in and finally a nurse arrived.  He was told a hospitalist was in charge of his case.  Finally the NP for the hospitalist showed up and my husband literally blew his stack.  He got so angry and yelled at this poor woman, but it was exactly what he needed to convert himself to sinus rhythm while she was there.  They got an EKG machine and confirmed it.  She told him that they wanted to keep him overnight and would do an echo in the morning and they were concerned about a wound on his leg and wanted to do a doppler to make sure he did not have a DVT.  He agreed.  The echo showed everything fine, just as it was at his annual check up in June and there was no DVT.  A cardiologist finally showed up to discharge him and after reviewing his history said the A Fib was due to the Amoxicillan prescribed for his leg wound.  It both triggers A Fib and prevents the Flecainide from working.  His conversion coincided with the last dose of antibiotic getting out of his system.  So, make sure your PCP understands what antibiotics you can or cannot take if susceptible to A Fib.  This cardiologist (not his regular) wanted him on Metoprolol 25 mg and Pradaxa.  My husband told him that his cardiologist axed the idea of a beta blocker because his heart rate is already low.  Sure enough, it dropped to 42 on the Metoprolol and my husband felt horrible.  The pradaxa gave him a full body rash!  He went back to his cardiologist for follow up and his BP was fine and heart rate in the mid 50's.  He also axed the Pradaxa since my husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation.   Oh and I forgot to say the hospital bill was over $26,000.  Houston Methodist!
