Help! Gluten Free/dairy Free Chicken Parmigiana

Hi everyone! I am new to the forum. I was diagnosed with celiac disease September 2007. I am craving chicken parmigiana and was wondering if anyone knew what would be a good choice of gluten free flour to make the breaded chicken? Also, what are the best brands of soy cheese? I've got the sauce covered. Amy's family marinara sauce is delicious!

thanks!

Actually, my mother bought Erewhon gluten free rice krispy cereal and crunched that up for the coating on some fried chicken, it was AWESOME. Can't help you with the cheese, I'm not dairy free. You might try the cashew 'parmesan' cheese, not really a good idea to go crazy with the soy right now.

Vegan Gourmet comes in a mozarella style.

For breading we use several options. Gillian's makes plain and italian. My husband says they are hard but I don't care that much. We also process EnerG tapioca loaf in the food processor and freeze for a panko style fresh bread brumbs. Use straight from the freezer. The result after frying is a lighter, crisp coating.

Sorry I can't help with the cheese--I'm dairy and soy free <_<

But....our favorite chicken coating is instant potato flakes (I use Potato Buds) with a generous amount of garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip the chicken in a beaten egg first--if you can't do eggs, you can use rice milk or even water.

Welcome to the board and enjoy your chicken parm :)

While vegan gourmet is the best vegan cheese i've seen, I stronly recomend you taste it before cooking with it. Taste it cold and melted. I've ruined otherwise good meals by adding one ingredient that I coulndt stand the taste of. I have liked the soy parmesan for adding some cheesy flavor, but . . . that gooey thing is just hard to replace.

There are lots of things you can coat chicken with, tho. You can make or buy gluten-free bread and crumb it yourself, I've used the 'veggie chips' in the blender, but they give a slightly green tinge. For myself, recently, I've just been using corn meal (locally stone ground, admittedly) and I was suprised how nice it was.

Good luck.

I always coat my baked chicken with crushed pork rinds, I use the Cuissinart to grind them up. Learned this from Atkins Diet. It may sound wierd, but it tastes better to me than other coatings I've tried.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10). Since then it has gone up to 10. I am not happy with that. I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
