Super Easy gluten-free Chicken Cassarole (sp?)


Guest imsohungry

Recommended Posts

My mom sent me this VERY fast and easy recipe...that is actually nutritious! I adapted it to be gluten-free...my hubby and I ate it up! :)

Super easy chicken cassarole (sp?):

1. two pouches of instant chicken flavored rice

(it only takes 60-90 seconds to make; it comes in a pouch and is microwavable! It's a new product made by several companies).

2. one large can white meat (or white/dark meat) chicken

(I had never had precooked/canned chicken before, but it's good and sold near the canned tuna)

3. one small can green beans

(or other veggie of your choice)

4. shredded or sliced sharp/mild cheese

5. (optional) gluten-free toasted bread crumbs as topping

Directions:

Microwave rice.

Stir in drained chicken and green beans, and shredded cheese

Add a teaspoon water/cover dish with aluminum foil/bake at 350 for 15-20 min.

Remove foil and add more cheese to top, along with (optional) toasted crumbs

Broil until cheese bubbles slightly.

Anyway, I thought I would share. It only took me five minutes to pour in the ingredients, 15 minutes to bake, and there was no mess to clean up because it was all done in my cassorole dish. So, just the dish and spoon needed to be washed. B)

Hope someone can use this! -Julie :)

Ok ya'll,

Uncle Ben's 90 second "Ready Rice" in the white rice, brown rice, and spanish style are gluten-free. (Just to make sure I called the company).

Because it's so convenient, it's more expensive than regular rice, but for a once-a-week treat to myself (so I don't have to "cook")...it is worth it. :)

The chicken-flavored 90 second DOES contain gluten, but any rice can become chicken-flavored with gluten-free chicken broth or a boullion cube.

If you want to use the 10-min. rice instead, simply boil the rice in gluten-free canned chicken broth or with a boullion cube instead of plain water. The whole dinner should still take less than 30 minutes...including clean-up. B)

Hope you enjoy! :)

I just tried this and it was great... and easy! My husband and 2yr old liked it and thats a feat. It even got the two year old to eat green beans, which he never does.

Thanks again,

Stephanie

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
