Gluten Free Dairy Free Sweet Potato Chicken Casserole

Print

The snow is (finally) flying in my neck of the woods…  I am in the need for some warming food.  Gluten Free Dairy Free Sweet Potato Chicken Casserole is a perfect comfort food with sweet potatoes, chicken and a smooth creamy sauce to tie it all together.  This is a hit with grownups and kids alike.  Have any leftovers?  It travels well in a thermos for lunch for a mid-day pick-me-up.

Note:  For a bit more color, you can sprinkle minced fresh parsley over the top when serving.  This is also delicious with roasted garlic stirred into the sauce.  Mmmm….

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 1/4 cups onions, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon garlic  (I have also used up to a tablespoon of roasted garlic in this, because that is how I roll)
• 4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 24 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped
• 1 tablespoon corn starch, arrowroot powder, or sweet rice flour
• 1 cup dry white wine or more gluten free chicken stock
• 1 cup gluten free chicken stock
• 1/4 cup canned coconut milk

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until golden. Add sweet potatoes and carrot. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes until lightly browned.

Move vegetables to the edges of the pan. Put chicken into the center of skillet. Cook chicken until seared on all sides. Sprinkle chicken with corn starch, then stir in. Gradually whisk in chicken stock a bit at a time until all is added. Scrape any bits from the bottom of pan while whisking. Add wine and coconut milk and mix well.

Put mixture into an oiled baking dish.  Bake in 400 degree oven for 1 hour until heated through and bubbly.

Freezing Directions:

Before baking, allow to cool. Put into a gallon sized freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, seal, label and freeze.

To serve:  Thaw. Put contents of bag into baking dish. Bake in 400 degree oven for 1 hour until heated through and bubbly.

Servings: 4
