First off – I want to give credit where credit is due – this dish was adapted from Chef John’s recipe on foodwishes.blogspot.com. Because the chicken is not breaded, this recipe is lower in fat which also provides a much easier preparation. I was delighted to find that by using GLUTINO’s Gluten Free Bagel Chips in place of the croutons, I was able to serve my wheat sensitive husband a dish he hadn’t had in a long time. Note: For a vegetarian version – eggplant could be used in place of the chicken.
