Hope you are enjoying the last days of summer. It is almost time to start planning back to school simple to prepare meals. One of my favourite gluten-free chicken dinners is made in one skillet, so there is less time spent in the kitchen cleaning up. In this recipe, the rice is well flavoured with herbs, spices, lime and chorizo, then topped with tasty crispy chili lime chicken. An easy gluten-free dinner the entire family will enjoy!
