As I'm always on the look-out for fast (gluten-free) food, I wanted to give Mrs. Leeper's Chicken Alfredo a try. Made with rice pasta, this dinner can be prepared in about 15 minutes.
According to instructions, I cooked up a pound of cubed chicken in a 10 inch skillet. Once cooked, I added 2 cups of hot water, 3/4 fat free milk and the sauce mix. I brought this to a boil, then added the pasta, covered and simmered for 11 minutes. I then removed from heat and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
I served the Chicken Alfredo in bowls and topped with a stir-fry of carrots, onions and green beans. Quite tasty, is what Rob and I both concluded of our meal. Mrs. Leeper's Chicken Alfredo was creamy with a tang from the various cheeses. The pasta, as it is made from rice is not terribly hearty- meaning it does get a bit soft, but with the crisp vegetables, it tasted just fine. Certainly don't expect a restaurant-style fettucini alfredo if that's what you are craving, but do expect a quick, tasty meal that is safe for celiacs.

I've also made these package mixes with just the noodles (not adding chicken & veggies) as a side dish to our regular dinner. My husband doesn't like "casserole" or one-pan style dinners, so I just grill my chicken (or whatever) and serve the noodles on the side.
In general, our family's budget doesn't allow for $3.50 side dishes, but when we're in a time crunch, it's really nice to have a reliable, tasty g.f. noodle dish that I can just pull from my pantry.
