Gluten Free Parmesan Chicken with Penne Marinara

Gluten Free Parmesan Chicken

Sometimes, I feel like I  get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life that I forget to experiment. I love Italian. LOVE IT! It is my dream to get back to Italy one day and eat my way through the country. But in the meantime, I will settle for cooking an Italian-inspired meal at home. But cooking Italian/pasta based meals in a gluten free household, can be …a challenge. I was checking out the Publix Flavor Excursion website and was inspired to try out Gluten Free Parmesan Chicken.  I headed over to Publix for the Publix flavor excursion  sale, and came away with most of the ingredients that I needed to make this recipe a reality.

So that you can enjoy your own Italian recipe,  I’ve teamed with Publix & General Mills for a $10 PayPal Gift Card Giveaway. You can find the easy instructions on how to enter are at the end of this post.

Oh wow the color of the dish looks lively and it's tempting me to also try out the dish. I'm not a fan of tomato-based food but this can be worth a try. The recipe looks easy to follow and the ingredients are healthy.

I love a good meal and this looks tasty. I am gluten, sugar, grain, preservative free due to a medical condition and restricted diet that puts me into remission. I would love to make this for my family because anytime I can bring them over to a healthier way of eating like mine, I'm in!
