GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN BAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• For the crust- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour,salt, and xanthan gum.
• With a pastry knife (or a knife and fork), cut butter into flour until butter is the size of small peas.
• Add milk and combine. Add additional milk if needed. You may need to use your hands to work the milk into the dough.
• Dough should be moist and easy to roll.
• Divide dough in half and roll each ball of dough out on a gluten-free floured surface with a rolling pin until approximately 10-inches in diameter. Alternatively, roll dough between two pieces of wax paper.
• Place one circle of dough into the pie pan and trim edges if necessary.
• For the filling- In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, carrots and peas. Add water to cover and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain; set aside. If you are using precooked chicken, cook the peas and carrots, then add in the cooked chicken after draining.
• In the same saucepan over medium heat, cook onions in butter until soft and translucent.
• Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk.
• Simmer over medium-low heat until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the chicken and veggie mixture in bottom pie crust, filing about half way. Pour the gravy mixture over the top and fill about 3/4 of the way.
• Cover with top crust, seal edges, and cut away excess dough. Cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
• Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preparing to cook: Heat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lay down a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
• Making the batter: Whisk together the buttermilk, paprika, garlic power, and onion powder. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir.
• Making the flour: Whisk together a pinch each of salt and pepper, flour mix, and smoked paprika.
• Dipping the chicken: Set a large cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. As the pan is heating, line up the chicken, the bowl of batter, and the spiced flour. Pour the oil into the hot pan.
• Frying the chicken: When the oil has reached 375 degrees F, dip a piece of chicken in the batter. Shake off any excess liquid. Dip the chicken in the flour and coat it entirely. Place the chicken in the hot oil. Repeat with all the pieces of chicken. 
• Don't overcrowd the pan. You can always do this in two batches.
• Flip the chicken pieces when the bottoms are nicely browned. When both sides are browned, put the chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Finishing the chicken: When all the chicken has been browned and laid on the baking sheet, put the baking sheet in the oven. Cook the chicken until the legs have reached an internal temperature of 185 degrees F and the breasts measure 155 degrees F.
• Pour all the flours into a large container. (Restaurant supply stores sell large plastic containers that fit this purpose well. You could also use a large glass jar.) Shake and shake and shake harder until all the flours have become one color.
