Gluten Free, Grain-Free

Serves 4

Ingredients

¼ Cup Otto’s Cassava Flour

½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

4 Small Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, halved widthwise

2 Tablespoons 100% Pure Avocado Oil

2 Tablespoons Clarified Butter

3 Cloves Garlic, minced

1 Shallot, minced

½ Cup Dry White Wine or Chicken Broth

⅓ Cup Lemon Juice

2 Tablespoons Capers

1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Italian Parsley

1 Lemon, sliced

4 Servings Palm Hearts Rice or Cauliflower Rice, for serving

Directions

1. Combine the cassava flour and cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.

2. Generously season the chicken breast halves on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken in the pan in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan, cook in two batches if necessary. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides -- about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.

3. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the butter, garlic, and shallot. Cook, stirring constantly, until soft and caramelized -- about 2 minutes. Add the white wine, and scape up any of the golden bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine bubble for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Stir in the lemon juice, capers, and parsley. Stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. The sauce should thicken and become creamy. Simply add a touch of broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed.

4. Add the chicken back to the pan, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes or until ready to serve. Serve hot with rice of choice, and lemon slices. Enjoy!

TIP OF THE WEEK

Whether you’re off to school this year or you have a child who is, learn how to stay safe this school year with these 5 tips to help you avoid getting sick!

Drink Lots of Water: Water helps your body to flush out toxins and helps keep you hydrated, so that your body can fight off any potential infection. Make sure to pack a water bottle in your school bag, to ensure you’re drinking enough water during the school day -- and add some unsweetened flavour drops if you find drinking more water challenging!

Take a Multivitamin: Being deficient in crucial vitamins and minerals can suppress your immune system, making you more vulnerable to getting sick. Taking an Everyday Multivitamin can help ensure your body is working it’s best! Available in men’s, women’s, and kids.

Pack Healthy Snacks: Fill your lunchbox with healthy snacks, made from fruits & vegetables! Fruits & vegetables are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants that can help boost your immune system and keep your body working its best! Snack on gummies, bars, crackers, and bites made with real, organic fruits and vegetables!

Get a Good Night's Sleep: Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system, making your body vulnerable to germs and viruses. Ensure that you are turning off all electronics an hour before going to bed and getting a full 8 hours of rest. If you have trouble falling asleep, drinking a calming nighttime tea can also help you to relax and fall asleep sooner!

Carry the Essentials On You: Be prepared for school by carrying around hand sanitizer, and having Beekeeper’s Naturals Propolis Throat Spray on hand for when you feel that slight tingle in your throat starting.
