Gluten Free Fried Chicken Tacos
Fried chicken isn’t something typically offered as gluten-free. It’s actually traditionally not, but the demand for gluten-free options is increasing dramatically. The only difference in this recipe is that we substitute all-purpose flour for cornstarch and tapioca flour, which adds that crispy crunch and doesn’t retain oil. So it’s healthier than all-purpose, it’s not as greasy… and the taste is spot-on! Via mensjournal.com

While they do take a little time to make up, setting yourself up a production line works well. Via planningwithkids.com

Slow Cooker Southwestern Chicken and Quinoa
What I love about this recipe is that it is made in the slow cooker and the hands-on time is minimal. The quinoa is added at the end so it soaks up the juices from the slow cooker, making it packed with flavor. It’s also a one-pot meal, which is always great when it comes to clean up time. Between the chicken breasts, the black beans and quinoa, it’s a protein powerhouse so it’s also very filling. There is just enough heat for my tastes, but you can easily adjust the amount of heat to your tastebuds by using hot salsa or adding more cayenne pepper. Whether you indulged a little too much this weekend or just want a delicious, easy, healthy meal, this one is great. Via heatovento350.com
