@JulieAFLeck, Thanks so much for sharing your variation, Julie. So glad you enjoy my book and blog. You made me smile. I'll update the white pepper so it's accurate in the recipe. Hugs, Amy

I realized as I started this recipe I used the last of my brown rice w a slow cooker Chinese lemon chicken recipe the night before
But my husband suggested a pasta, so I fully cooked the whole 8ox box of Ancient Harvest Quinoa Rotelle (only 9 minutes after rolling boiling). Followed the rest of your recipe to the T, then noodles into the dish, 3/4 cup of room temp broth, poured the chicken mix on top, into the over for 20 minutes with foil, then parm on top, 10 minutes uncovered, and perfect!!! Cut the time in half (although in would have preferred the brown rice, i was happy w the nutritional trade w/quinoa pasta).
This is one I’ll bring to pot lucks and not even mentions its gluten free!
(P.S. I didn’t find where in the recipe to add the white pepper, but I assumed tossing it into the end of the chicken mix cooking?)
Love your book, love this sight-you’re such a part of my process nowadays

@Alison, It sounds great! Did you use the same quantity of green onions? Just trying to get a feel for your variation as they're much stronger than leeks. Hugs, Amy

This was HANDS DOWN the best casserole I have ever made!! I had made a few substitutions to my preferences (quinoa instead of rice, green onions intead of leeks, organic chicken thighs instead of whole chicken). It came out very light and fluffy and gave feeling of full. I enjoyed how I could taste each ingredient in each bite. Thank you for continually inspiring my gluten free recipes!

@KH, It sounds you either didn’t add boiling stock to the rice before putting it in the oven or you the foil on the baking container wasn’t really tight and the steam escaped. It totally works…and it’s so simple.

Hugs,
