Okay, for those of you that have this cookbook, give the Chicken Biscuit Surprise on pg. 134 a try. It is fabulous! I thought it looked kind of gross, but I decided to try it anyway and it's really good. I think this recipe would also do well with other shredded meats (tuna, crab, etc.). The little sandwiches make GREAT breakfast sandwiches. DH and picky DD both loved them. I used canned chicken and cheddar cheese and they were really easy to make like that.

It does have one egg in it, perhaps it could be subbed for something else though? I will post it tomorrow when I get home from the races.

Okay, this is a long one....

This recipe is from The Incredible Edible Gluten Free Food for Kids cookbook by Sheri L. Sanderson. I highly recommend getting this cookbook as all recipes that I've tried have turned out beautifully.

Chicken Biscuit Surprise

1 Buttermilk Biscuit Recipe

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (2 12.5 ounce cans, drained)

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or swiss, about 1/2 a lb.) - I used cheddar, yummy

1. Place one heaping tablespoon of the biscuit dough in the bottom of each of 18 well greased muffin cups. Drop 2 tablespoons of the shredded chicken on each biscuit. Layer each biscuit with 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Cover each biscuit with another heaping tablespoon of the biscuit dough.

2. Bake at 450 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the biscuit comes out clean and the biscuits are golden.

3. Invert onto a cooling rack and serve immediately.

Buttermilk Biscuits

1.5 cups rice flour

1/3 cup potato starch flour

3 tablespoons tapioca flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons Cream of Tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon xantham gum

2.5 teaspoons powdered buttermilk

1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened

1/2 cup water

1 egg, beaten

1. In a bowl, combine rice flour, potato starch flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, Cream of Tartar, salt, xantham gum, and powdered buttermilk.

2. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender or an electric mixer on low. Make a well in the center and add the water and egg all at once.

3. Mix well until moistened and combined.

Then follow the Biscuit Surprise recipe above.

These reheat beautifully. They make great breakfast and lunch dishes. I made it last night for dinner and it was a huge hit. My husband even asked for seconds. Again, this cookbook is excellent and I would strongly recommend getting it. There are recipes for cookies, cakes, gluten free main dishes, side dishes, breakfasts. The buttermilk pancake recipe is to die for, especially with blueberries!!! They sell the book on amazon .com.

I'll bet my two boys wouldn't even try it because you've already noted that it looks gross. Looks gross=tastes gross at my house. <_<

I will admit that one time I made a beef stroganoff that looked NOTHING like the photo. The photo had creamy white sauce and mine was pink. I wouldn't even try it. I had a grilled cheese sandwich instead. I don't think my husband tried it either. :lol:

Guhlia, do you like this cook book a lot? I've been thinking about buying it.

Oh, all right. Will put it on my to try list.

Mart - We love the banana bread and sloppy joes. My MIL made the sugar cookies and those were a big hit last Christmas. I use the dressing recipe for Potato salad as well. I didn't have much luck with the tortillas. I think they are called Mock Flour Tortillas or something. They turned out well, but we couldn't fold them. They just broke at the fold line. I ended up cutting them into triangles, "painting" Italian salad dressing on them and baking them until they were crisp for cracker type things. They were pretty good.

I have to say I cannot make a gluten banana bread to save my life, but this one is great EVERY time.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
