Gluten Free Super Bowl Ideas

I am going to make a slow cook spicy chicken and put them in lettuce wraps - you can use any garnish you want but its delicious and makes a great taco like meal!

Shredded Tex-Mex Crock-Pot Chicken (from tksinclair.com)
Ingredients:
Serves 4

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup (packed) cilantro leaves, chopped
2 limes
1 large onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:

Heat the oil in a medium sized sauté pan. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the cumin, chili powder, coriander, paprika and garlic and sauté two more minutes. Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth making sure to scrape up any browned bits. Turn off and set aside.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Add to crock pot. Squeeze the lime on top, add the cilantro, jalapeno, and pour the onion and garlic mixture over top.

Cook on low for 3-5 hours, or until cooked through (different crock-pots cook at varying heats) and tender. Remove chicken breasts from the crock pot, shred and place in a bowl. Scoop out the onions and add to the chicken. Depending on the amount of juices produced, you may want to add some or all of the juice back to the shredded chicken.

For fast and easy Cycle 1 “tacos”, add this chicken to lettuce leaves with tomato, cilantro, red onion, and FF cheese (I like FF cheddar or feta best). Add a dollop of Non-fat yogurt (instead of sour cream) and salsa, too, if you like.

Kitchen Tip: To easily juice the lime, heat in the microwave for a few seconds and then roll it on the counter top a few times like you are kneading it. Then slice in half and squeeze. Or use a hand juicer.

Recipe Note: You could also prepare this recipe in a pressure cooker. Cook for about 12 minutes on high pressure.

This is also one of my fav sites. I'm not sure if any of this will appeal to you or your son for the super bowl, but there are a lot of options (the link is for the GF recipes) and it is sectioned off into appetizers, etc. with all of the nutrition info, etc. Maybe you can find something!

One of my favorites:

Carmelized onion dip (my non-GF friends even request it):


2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions (about 1 1/2 pounds), finely chopped
3/4 cup sour cream (low-fat is fine if you like)
3/4 cup Greek yogurt (low-fat is fine if you like)
3 teaspoons dehydrated onion powder/granulates (salt-free, natural)
very scant 1/2 teaspoon salt

In a large thick-bottomed skillet over medium heat saute the chopped onions in the olive oil along with a couple pinches of salt. Stir occasionally with a wood or metal spatula and cook until the onions are deeply golden, brown, and caramelized - roughly 40 or 50 minutes (see photo). Set aside and let cool.

In the meantime, whisk together the sour cream, yogurt, onion powder, and salt. The important thing is to add whatever onion powder you are using to taste. Add a bit at a time until it tastes really good. Set aside until the caramelized onions have cooled to room temperature. Stir in 2/3 of the caramelized onions, scoop into a serving bowl, and top with the remaining onions. I think this dip is best at room temperature.

Makes about 2 cups.

Well it is not exactly healthy but Puppy Chow is always yummy!! Also you can make flour less peanut butter cookies with the chocolate kiss in the middle. Tostitos chips and salsa, or nachos using tostitos.

great ideas!
