Any Ideas On What To Do With My Smoked Chicken?

DP bought a smoker this week and wanted to test it out. Ribs and whole chicken were on sale. I rubbbed the ribs with oriental 5 spice flour and salt, and we used the 3-2-1 rule (three hours on the grill at 220 degrees with the rub, 2 hours in aluminum foil and 1 hour with basting a sauce out of the foil). I prepped the 5 lb. chicken (cost $5) with lemon juice and whole garlic and asked him please not to put a sauce on it. Amazingly, he didn't.

The ribs were very good, but the chicken is out of this world! Does anyone have ideas about how to use the rest of my smoked chicken? There's quite a bit left over. (Can't do quinoa, BTW.)

We smoked a butternut squash too. Yum! (Have leftovers of that too.)

I would appreciate any/all recipe ideas. The only thing I can think of is salads, and I'm getting tired of salads.

Pizza in some form? Maybe smoked Gouda or feta with moz? Tacos? Or nachos? Put chicken, with tomatoes, red pep, smoke squash, avocado, etc on soft corn tortillas. Or spray corn tortillas with oil and bake at 350 until crunchy, then top. Cream sauce on pasta. Had something like this once cream sauce, corn, red pepper on pasta ( something made it spicy) Rice,black beans, salsa, etc. Pretty much anything you would do with chicken or ham. just cut up and eat with cheese and crackers. On rice cakes with spinach leaves and a bit of salad dressing.

Now I want a smoked chicken!

Edit: couldn't see what you can't have when typing. Omit the corn and the cheese. The chicken should have enough flavor.

I think I'm ready for a corn challenge! (I haven't updated my tag, I actually can have dairy now.) Thank you for your suggestions, they sound yummy! :)

Well...Drats! I thought maybe I was going to have to eat the chicken for you!

Actually, I have grilled chicken from last night. We are having BBQ chicken pizza - use a tomato spicy BBQ sauce in place of marinara.

Smoked chicken is great in dishes such as jambalaya. Why not chicken pot pie or chicken and dumplings or Chicken a la King? There are gluten-free versions. Or perhaps dice, add to some aioli with perhaps smoked paprika and make an interesting chicken salad (sandwich). Oooooh....how about chicken rillettes? YUM. White chicken chili, mole negro, chicken gumbo, quesidillas, or chicken ragout on creamy polenta would work well. Lastly, creamed chicken with mushroom duxelles on toast (if you can find a decent bread, that is). Wait - one more. Shred it like pulled pork - add some mango puree to the sauce for a slightly sweet but delicious flavour.

How is your butternut squash flavoured? You can puree it to make soup or if you are feeling like making pasta, it makes a fabulous filling with fresh sage and butter sauce. Or how about adding it to risotto? I just love butternut squash risotto. You can also puree it and sprinkle with pepitas and some interesting exotic spices. Or maybe make an infused oil (i.e. garlic and sage) and drizzle over it.

Lightly saute 1/4 cup onion and 2T chopped green pepper. Add a box of Pacific condensed cream of mushroom soup, chopped chicken, a little pimento, salt & pepper. Serve this over canned or fresh steamed asparagus. It's also good over toast. With a fruit salad, this makes a good, quick meal. Even non-gluten-free husband likes it.

Thank you so much for the great ideas, Karen, Love2Travel, and mbrooks!

You're making me hungry!

And Karen, love the new look (American Flag), and your sense of humor! gluten-free Sista, I'd deliver smoked chicken if you were in my 'hood!

I made the sauce for the ribs the night before in my crockpot. I guess it's good because I asked DP if he minded if I gave our good friends a jar of it (jelly jar, mind you) and he said "NO, we're keeping that".

The smoker was on sale for $50 and some change at Home Depot. Since we can cook out nearly year round I think it was a worthy purchase. My compadre loves to watch sports and grill on the weekend.

I found some delectable recipes for smoked fish and shrimp on the internet. And for stuffed poblano peppers with chicken and smoked gouda cheese. I'm thinking since I have smoked chicken I should use a creamy mexican cheese.

I have fresh asparagus, brooks, so I'm all over your recipe.

Love, I had to laugh because I flavored the squash with balsamic syrup, minced onion and s&p. It was delicious. I'm looking forward to researching your menu suggestions.

Thanks again, everyone. :D

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating...

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
