My dear friend Jen told me about a chicken recipe that she tried the other night, wondering if I could make it gluten free. Seemed easy enough. And it was… as well as delicious! The prep work took me less than 10 minutes, so it is perfect for a busy weeknight meal that you want to taste homemade. Thanks, Jen!
