For quite sometime, I have been adhering to mostly an AIP (Auto Immune Protocol) diet in an attempt to calm my Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is an Auto Immune Disease. It has been beneficial
when I am strict and disciplined. However, those of you who have followed my blog know what a difficult task this is for my foodie self who loves dinner parties. So, I am rounding a corner now, and attempting to add in a few things to my diet and check for reactions. I feel strongly that rice, especially brown rice, has beneficial nutrients that our bodies need, so I am adding that in first.
I LOVE pasta! I MISS pasta! I am happy to report ....... I found a wonderful substitute to use in this recipe that I created!! Brown Rice Penne Pasta by Delallo is by far my favorite gluten free pasta.
Delallo is a family company that began in Pennsylvania in 1950. They source over 200 products from Italy and The Mediterranean. They have a wonderful website that I encurage you to check out if you love Italian food as much as I do. (By the way, I purchase my Delallo pasta locally at Yokes).
Give this recipe a try! I think you will LOVE it. Let me know what you think. Enjoy🙂

- Drizzle oil over the raw chicken breasts and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Rub the mixture into both sides and cover. Allow to marinate for 1 hour.
- While waiting for chicken to marinate, saute diced onion in olive oil until tender.
- Remove from pan. This is a great time to cook the pasta as well.
- When chicken is done marinating, cut into bite size pieces and saute in olive oil until done.
- Add the onions and sauté until caramelized (lightly browned)
- Then add in the white wine and let simmer so that the mixture reduces by half.
- Add in the remaining salt, garlic powder, lemon juice, parsley and capers.
- Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add in the cooked penne pasta, stir well.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled lightly over the top.
