Chicken rolls for a picnic
Chicken rolls – brilliant gluten-free idea for a picnic, children like it. I also take them on board of an airplane, because I hate food, which is served by airlines even if it is certificated gluten-free. So all you need is to put for a minute the breasts of chicken in marinade, made from olive oil, 2 tsp of ground paprika, 1 tsp of nutmeg, sea salt, pressed 2 fresh garlic cloves and a little bit black milled pepper. Preheat the oven to 190°С (375°F). Twist each breast in roll by the foil paper and bake for about 35-40 minutes.
Meat for sandwiches
The guten-free vegan bread with meat marinated in gluten-free soy sauce (for the whole night) and baked at 190°С (375°F) for 45-60 minutes in foil paper. The bread is made from bread mix and as a substitute for eggs I added flax seed meal (I’ve mixed 2 tbsp flaxseed meal with 6 tbsp warm water in a cup instead of 2 eggs and let it sit for two minutes). It’s a great idea for a picnic with seasonal vegetables and fruits.
