1. Gather all of your ingredients.

2. Rinse and trim Chicken; pat dry with some paper towels and cut into bite-size pieces and put them into a medium-large mixing bowl; season with Salt & Pepper.

3. In a small mixing bowl, sift the GF flour with the Garlic Powder, mixing well.

4. Sprinkle the Flour mixture over the Chicken pieces and toss gently to thoroughly coat the Chicken.

5. In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the butter and 1 Tbsp Olive oil over medium-low heat.

6. *At this point, begin cooking your GF Pasta or Rice, according to the instructions on the box.

7. Once the Butter and Oil are hot (when the butter is completely melted and there is a slight sheen on the surface of the oil), add half of the Chicken pieces and cook for about 5-6 minutes, while stirring occasionally to brown on all sides (do not cook the Chicken all the way through at this stage, because you will be adding the Chicken back to the skillet later). Remove the Chicken pieces from the skillet and set aside; repeat the process with the other half of the Chicken (melt 2 Tbsp Butter and 1 Tbsp Oil, etc.).

8. Reduce the temperature to Low and add the remaining 4 Tbsp Butter, Chicken Broth, Lemon Juice, Lemon Zest and Capers to the skillet; stir until ingredients are mixed and butter is completely melted.

9. Add the Heavy Cream, while whisking to thoroughly blend. Increase the temperature to Medium-Low and bring to a low boil; continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).

10. Lower the temperature to Low and add the Chicken pieces back into the skillet, stirring well to completely coat the Chicken; continue cooking for about 5 Minutes. Sprinkle with a couple of pinches of Parsley (if using) and stir. Note: if the sauce is thicker than you like, add a little more Chicken Broth until you reach the desired thickness.

11. Serve over your choice of Gluten-Free Pasta (I usually serve it over GF Capellini Pasta by Jovial) or Rice and a fresh salad or steamed veggies.

12. Enjoy 🙂

1. Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt & pepper, if desired. Set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer on the surface.
3. Meanwhile, dredge the Chicken Tenders through the flour to fully coat and shake off excess flour.
4. Carefully place the floured Chicken Tenders into the hot oil and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until thoroughly cooked; remove the chicken and place on a plate.
5. While the Chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of water to boil and cook the GF Pasta according to directions; drain and set aside.
6. Once all of the Chicken has cooked and been removed from the pan, lower the temperature to Simmer/Low and add the Minced Garlic; cook for about 1 minute.
7. Carefully add the Chicken Broth and stir well.
8. Next, add the Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Lemon Zest and Juice stirring well to combine all of the ingredients; add salt & pepper to taste; simmer until the sauce begins to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).
9. Return the Chicken Tenders to the pan and cover completely with the sauce; add the Spinach, if desired, and cook for about 1 minute (or until the Spinach is wilted).
10. Serve over your choice of GF Pasta and garnish with Basil or Parsley, if desired.

The Pasta:

1. In a large pot, cook the pasta according to the package instructions for al dente; reserve 1/2 cup pasta water for the sauce before draining the rest of the water; set the pasta aside in a colander & keep the large pot available for cooking the sauce, etc.

The Vegetables:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
3. While the Pasta is cooking, cut up all of the vegetables into bite-size pieces and place them into a large bowl. *This step can be done ahead of time, if desired (just keep veggies refrigerated until ready to use).
4. Add the Olive Oil and spices to the vegetables in the bowl and toss to thoroughly coat; spread the veggies evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until veggies are tender.

The Lemon-Butter Sauce:

1. Using the same pot that you used to cook the pasta, add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic; cook over medium-low heat until the butter is completely melted and the garlic becomes fragrant (about 2 minutes).
2. Add the cooked Pasta, the reserved Pasta Water and the roasted vegetables to the Lemon-Butter mixture, tossing until thoroughly coated.
3. Next, add the Basil, 1/2 cup Parmesan and Salt (to taste); toss to combine.
4. Serve with freshly-grated Parmesan and fresh chopped Basil, if desired.
5. Oh, so yummy! Enjoy 🙂

8. Lastly, add the Spinach and cook until it wilts ~ about 1 minute.
9. Serve with a dollop of Ricotta Cheese, if desired.
   Enjoy 🙂

Making the Homemade Sauce:

1. In a large saucepan/pot, heat 1-2 Tbsp. Olive Oil over Medium/Low heat until it shimmers on the surface.
2. Once the oil is hot, add the Garlic and Onion and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the Onion is transparent.
3. Lower the temperature to Low and add the Tomato Sauce, Tomato Puree, Parsley, Basil, Sugar, Salt and Pepper; stir until fully blended; add the Milk and stir to incorporate.
4. Cover and let simmer while you cook the Meatballs and Pasta.

Making the Meatballs:

1. In a large bowl, mix the Ground Turkey, Ground Sausage, Oats, Parmesan Cheese, Parsley, Oregano, Salt and Pepper until thoroughly blended.
2. Next, add the Milk and Egg and mix well using either your hands or two forks.
3. Using a 1″ or 2″ scooper, scoop and form meatballs and place on a cookie sheet or large plate; you should end up with about 24 – 2″ meatballs or 48 – 1″ meatballs.
4. Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the Olive Oil over Medium/Low to Medium heat until the surface shimmers.
5. Once the oil is heated, add 6-8 meatballs (leave enough working room in the skillet to flip/turn the meatballs) and brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side). Transfer the browned meatballs to a clean dish/plate, while you cook the remaining meatballs.

The Pasta:

1. While you are cooking the meatballs, bring a large pot of water to a boil; cook the Pasta according to the package instructions for al dente; drain and set aside.

Putting it All Together:

1. While you’re layering the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9″ x 13″ Baking Dish with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Ladle a thin layer of sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish and spread out evenly to cover the bottom.
4. Next, add half of the meatballs.
5. Then, add half of the Pasta onto and around the meatballs.
6. Next, layer with half of the Mozzarella Slices (or “Pearls”).
7. Repeat these layers with the remaining ingredients: Sauce, Meatballs, Pasta, Mozzarella.
8. Sprinkle the top evenly with the 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese.
9. Bake on a cookie sheet (to prevent spills in the oven) for about 30 minutes or until cheese is golden and bubbly.
10. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
11. Yummy!!! Serve with a fresh green salad and Enjoy! 🙂

1. Gather all of the ingredients.
2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the Broccoli, cooking for just about 3 minutes (you want the broccoli to be just tender and bright green). Remove broccoli from the boiling water (do not discard water) with a slotted spoon and place in a large bowl; set aside.
3. Add the GF Pasta to the boiling broccoli water and cook as instructed on the package. Drain, rinse and add to the reserved Broccoli in the large bowl; set aside.
4. Note: I usually start this step while the pasta is cooking 😉
   In a very large, non-stick skillet (3.5-4 qt) melt the 2 Tbsp butter over medium-low heat.
5. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onions and cook until translucent.
6. Next, add the bite-size Chicken pieces and Black Pepper; cook until no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
7. Add the 3 Tbsp GF Flour blend and the 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard to the Chicken and Onions; stir to evenly coat.
8. Next, add the 2 Cups of Milk and bring to a low boil, stirring often to prevent clumping; cook until the sauce begins to thicken (usually about 3-5 minutes).
9. Reduce the temperature to Low and add the Pasta and Broccoli to the Chicken mixture, stirring to mix well.

6. Reduce heat to low and take about 1/4 cup of the sauce and whisk it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to prevent egg from scrambling 😉
   Once thoroughly blended, add this to the rest of the sauce, again constantly whisking to prevent egg from cooking. Add the Shredded Cheese, Salt and Pepper, mixing until completely blended and smooth.
7. Add the cooked and drained Pasta to the sauce, stirring to evenly coat the Pasta.
8. Top with chopped green onions, chives, parsley, etc. Serve immediately 🙂
