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

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in the kitchen who may be cooking it on the same surfaces or in the same pots/pans as they are gluten containing food items and handling it with the same utensils they are handling gluten-containing food. 3. About 8% of celiacs react to the protein avenin in oats as they do the protein gluten in wheat/barley/rye. In addition, some cultivars of oats actually contain the protein gluten. Many celiacs also react to the protein casein in dairy products as they do gluten or they are lactose intolerant. Eggs, soy and corn are also common "cross reactors" in the celiac community but oats and dairy are the most common.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just looking for some answers/ideas/tips on what additional things I can do to feel better. Do you all do avoid additional categories of foods beyond just gluten to help alleviate symptoms? Thanks!

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By trents · Posted

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.

      Weakly positive DGP IgA

      By Cat M · Posted

      Ah ok, I just saw didn’t even post the DGP IgA at all. 😫 I started with itching and hives Jan 2024, been taking a ton of meds and on Xolair and even that is not providing total relief. The other primary symptoms: intermittent but worsening abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating. This summer I am just exhausted. I uploaded my 23andMe data to genetic lifehacks and discovered quite a few variations, including DQ2, MTHFR, VDR and I have always had very low ferritin, vitamin D and B12. I still think that mast cell disease makes the most sense, but latest labs show I am barely in range for thiamine, zinc and vitamin A, so the GI stuff feels more important to figure out than the hives right now. I did SIBO testing this morning. TTG IGA <2   0-3 is negative TTG IGG  3   0-5 is neg DGP IGA 21    20-30 is weak positive DGP IGG 4    0-19 is negative Although total IGA is not resulted, there is a footnote stating it was low and the reason they ran IGG.
