Recipe For Easy Chicken And Noodles? (and Rolls!)

Hi all,

We love chicken and noodles.....my easy recipe is no longer that!!!! Before i cooked chicken breast, added several cream of soups to broth and added egg noodles. That was then and this is now. My daughter, Mollie, has been gluten free for two weeks and i'm just trying to get past the initial stage and get into cooking. I have checked out several recipe books for gluten-free diets, but not ready to get into making the dough myself.

Here's what i have......chicken, a package of asian rice noodles, and organic gluten-free chicken stock. Ideas???????

Also......any good yeast roll recipes to go with this dish??????

It's rainy and dark this morning in Indiana and this dish sounds good if only i can make it! :unsure:

Thanks,

Kim

Well...I have a suggestion for your chicken and noodles...

People made cream of chicken long before campbells, and it's really easy to do :)

If you have a copy of Joy of Cooking kicking around your kitchen, there is a recipe for creamed chicken (which is what you use for chicken and noodles)... Just replace the flour with your favorite gluten-free flour combo (I use a blend of rice, potato, and corn starches), you can try Bob's Red Mill all purpose gluten-free mix as well.

I don't have the book in front of me, but here's what I got off the top of my head....

You basically make a roux, you melt butter in a pan over medium heat, and when it's melted, add about an equal amount of flour and cook for a minute or two, and then add 2-ish cups of chicken stock, and cook and stir until thickened like gravy...

Also, Tinkyada is the best gluten-free pasta...tastes just like wheat pasta :)

I make Bette Hagman's egg noodles for my chicken noodle soup. My kids actually beg for my soup, they never begged for food before except pancakes.

Boil a chicken, which makes the soup base and broth and debone (or boil boned chicken breasts but you won't get the really good extra flavor). Add veggies then the noodles you made while the chicken was boiling and it is done.

If you are just limited to avoiding gluten, then you can buy some broths, I can't because of soy issues but others should be able to give you some brands.

Where in Indiana? There are several of us on this board - it is cloudy and gloomy in Bloomington.

The cooking gets so much better.

Which book is that one in? I miss egg noodles!

An old fav of mine is real simple, but I have not tried it since gluten free but plan to very soon, is this.

I boil chicken breasts maybe add some rosemary....

make homemade egg noodles...

once the chicken is done I shredd it and throw it back into the pan with the broth that I just made... add the noodles with a little extra of the flour to thicken it

then I make a pot of mashed potoates.. and corn.

I layer this.. potatoes (butter) corn then the thickened soup.... does a heart good (we like our noodles a little thicker than normal for this meal)

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
