So any. Suggestions on a gluten free, i am unable to find gf cream of chicken?
Here is a recipe for Gluten Free cream of chicken.
http://www.food.com/recipe/gluten-free-cream-of-chicken-soup-replacement-for-casseroles-497505
I haven’t tried it but you can try searching google for more recipes if needed.
Sprout’s has GF cream of chicken as does most Safeways
King Soopers/City Market carry GF soup too.
Unless you have celiac disease, there is no benefit to going gluten free.
Sure there is. Not as a diet though. Try going off gluten for a month (not necessarily substituting gluten free products). You will notice a difference in your thought process. Gluten clouds your brain. I didn’t get this from reading any book, but from doing it and from people I know that don’t ingest gluten. Good book to read is Grain Brain.
Pacific organic has gluten free cream of mushroom & cream of chicken soups. A family member has celiac disease. We have found these soups work well in recipes 🙂

This was delicious! Â I changed mine up a bit for the picky eater in out house. Â I put the raw chicken, taco seasoning, chicken soup, cream cheese (instead of sour cream) and used salsa since it was on hand in the crockpot for about 4-5 hours on low. Â Didn’t use milk. Added the cheese and layered it with the Doritos. Â Cooked for about 15 mins and added lettuce, tomato and olives on top after. Â Was a HUGE hit! Thank you for this recipe!
I made this for church today, and it was wonderful! TFS!
Oh, yay! That is so good to hear! 🙂

I’ve made the chicken nachos meal 4 times now. Plates licked clean, every time. I cook the chicken the night before so it takes less time to prepare for the next days dinner. It’s a big hit around here.Â
I made this tonight with shredded pork instead of chicken. I also added a (drained) can of black beans. Yummy!
Oh, I love that idea! I’ll try that next. 🙂
Thanks for the recipe!
What a great recipe – thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for reading!
wow, yummy recipe…
Very yummy!
