Three Easy Gluten-Free Dinners When All You Have Is An Hour

Primavera Stuffed Chicken

#2 – Primavera Stuffed Chicken

Click here to see the original recipe.  I use this recipe on the Delish.com website as a base and then provide ideas and products to offer gluten-free options.  They have a great video too which I always find much more helpful than just reading a recipe by itself.

This recipe just looked soooo good I couldn’t wait to try it.  Very quick, low prep (with a few shortcuts), and it pretty much goes with anything!  The recipe states it takes 40 minutes but with a few tweaks, you could get it done in even less time.

To start, if you just saw this and want to give it a try, you need some thawed chicken.  My preference is to put some frozen chicken in the refrigerator the night before so it is mostly thawed by the time I would get home from work.  Or, you can pick up (or have on hand in your refrigerator) some raw chicken (thawed) so there would be no prep at all. 

Ken's Italian Marinade

Another option if you are planning to use this recipe on another day of the week, you could marinate the raw chicken the night before in some Italian dressing which adds a lot more flavor to the chicken and would go well with this recipe.  Here is a bottle of Ken’s Steakhouse Italian Dressing which has the GF symbol right on the front label (more about this later).

Dump the whole bottle in a large quart-size Ziploc bag and add the chicken breast to soak for 24 hours.

Next, for the vegetables in the recipe, there are several options to speed your time up to get this completed sooner.  You can buy pre-cut veggies at the store – they usually have these in the produce section of your local grocery. Or you can buy bags of frozen pre-cut vegetables.  I buy these all the time for a quick stir-fry.

Kroger 3 Pepper & Onion Blend

Or if you prefer, you can cut the vegetables yourself.  It really doesn’t take too much time and I usually have a lot of vegetables on hand to make salads with anyway so fresh vegetables works for me!

Lastly, just cut the slits in the chicken, put the vegetables in the slits, cook, and as they say in the movie Ratatouille, “Follow zee recipe” (sounds better with a French accent).

Really quick, awesome flavor and you can serve with a salad, side dish or bread (or all of the above!).
