Follow these tips and tricks to make the perfect gluten free popcorn chicken.

• Cut chicken evenly – Uniform sizes help everything cook at the same rate.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – Cook in batches if needed for max crispiness.
• Double dip for extra crunch – Dip in egg, then coating, back to egg, and coating again.
• Use olive oil spray – Generously spray the chicken to prevent sticking and increase crispiness.
• Check internal temp – Make sure chicken reaches 165°F for safe eating.

How to Serve & Store

Serve your crispy gluten free popcorn chicken with your choice of sauce and side dishes. I love air fryer sweet potatoes, air fryer hash browns, and air fryer potato wedges.

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Air fry at 375°F for 3–4 minutes or bake at 400°F for 5–7 minutes to re-crisp.

Disclaimer: At any time, Panera can change their menu and ingredients list. Please ask your local Panera about ingredients and gluten. In addition, Panera clearly states on their website that there is cross contamination at their restaurants. If you have Celiac disease, a severe gluten allergy or autoimmune disease, you may want to consider somewhere else.

What is Panera Bread?

In 1987, Panera Bread got its start as St. Louis Bread Company. This sourdough bread bakery made freshly baked breads daily. They began with a sourdough starter, which is still used in their recipes today.

Today, Panera Bread is a fast casual American cuisine restaurant chain. Order at the counter, grab a table, and your number will be called. They are known for their expansive bakery and pastry options, quick and healthy meals, and sweet treats.

Daily offerings include freshly baked bagels, cookies, breads, salads, sandwiches, and smoothies. Panera offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.

According to their website, Panera prides itself on offering clean and healthy options. In addition, this family friendly restaurant is passionate about quality, convenience, and kindness.

Panera is located in 48 states, the District of Columbia and parts of Canada. To find your nearest location, check out their store locator.

Panera has a “gluten conscious” menu which features dishes made without gluten. Unfortunately, they cannot guarantee these items are entirely free of gluten. They warn about cross contamination in their kitchens. Please be very careful ordering and ask your associate for help.

Top Gluten Free Items & Products

There are some healthy and delicious gluten free items at Panera Bread. They are broken out by meal type below.

Breakfast & Brunch

Panera has a wide range of smoothies. In addition, they have oatmeal that is labeled gluten conscious.

Smoothie flavors include the following.

Their Strawberry Banana Smoothie is made from fruit purées, banana, plain Greek yogurt and ice.

The Mango Smoothie contains plain Greek yogurt, ice, orange juice and banana purée.

Green Passion Smoothie is made with peach, mango and white grape purées, passionfruit juice, spinach and ice.

Peach and Blueberry Smoothie with Almond Milk contains peach, mango and white graph purées, passionfruit juice, blueberries and almond milk. This smoothie is also dairy free and vegan.

The Panera Strawberry Smoothie is made from fruit purées, juice concentrate, plain Greek yogurt and ice.

In addition, to smoothies, Panera offers oatmeal. Their Greek Yogurt with Mixed Berries Parfait is labeled as gluten conscious. It contains Greek yogurt, honey, maple butter pecan granola, strawberries and blueberries. The granola contains whole grain oats. If you cannot digest oats, I recommend choosing another option.

They also offer Steel Cut Oats with Strawberries and Pecans. These oats are topped with pecans, cinnamon crunch, and strawberries.

Salads

Panera’s Greek Salad is fresh and flavorful. It contains romaine lettuce, feta, red onions, tomatoes, olives, Greek dressing and pepperoncini. Add chicken or avocado for an extra fee.

The Green Goddess Salad is one of my favorites! This salads contains antibiotic free chicken, arugula, romaine lettuce, kale, tomatoes, and pickled red onions. The toppings include Green Goddess dressing, avocado, Applewood bacon, and hard boiled eggs.

Fuji Apple Salad with Chicken is another gluten conscious option. This salad is made up of antibiotic free chicken, arugula, kale, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pecans, Gorgonzola cheese, and apple chips. The dressing is a white balsamic vinaigrette.

Their other salads all either contain croutons or soy sauce. Thus, they contain gluten.

Baking

While Panera offers many baked goods, pastries, and desserts, none of them is gluten free.

Soups

While Panera does not list any soups on their gluten-conscious menu, there are some options. The soups are served with baguettes, which are not gluten free!

First, the Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup contains no gluten. This soup is warm, hearty and cozy. It contains butternut squash, pumpkin, broth, honey, apple juice, cinnamon, curry, sweet cream, and pumpkin seeds. Double check with your local Panera to be sure it is safe to eat.

The Turkey Chili does not contain wheat ingredients either. Since it is not listed on their gluten conscious menu, double check with your local restaurant before eating. This chili has antibiotic free turkey, chickpeas, kidney beans, ancho and pasilla stock, tomatoes, edamame, carrots, tomatillos, cumin, lime and cilantro.

Warm Bowls

Panera has several warm bowl menu items. Unfortunately, all of them either contain or may contain gluten. For that reason, these are best to avoid. Even if you are not Celiac, it is not worth the risk.

Price

Panera is not a cheap restaurant by any means. However, it does have affordable prices.

Most of the main menu items range from $7 to $13.

Some bakery items are even cheaper.

Kids Menu

Panera does offer a kids menu. It includes several soups, mac and cheese, and chili.

The only kids’ menu item that does not contain gluten is the Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup. Since this is not listed under their gluten conscious menu, it may be best to avoid for children. This is usually serve with a baguette, which is not gluten free.

The fresh fruit is naturally gluten free. Ask for apples or bananas.

When ordering salad, be sure to make sure dressings are dairy free. Additionally, order the salads without cheese.

Most of the soups are dairy free. Soups containing dairy include Vegetarian Autumn Squash Soup, Mexican Corn Chowder and Cream Tomato Soup. Those contain milk. The French Onion Soup contains both butter and cheese.

Avoid the eggs and egg sandwiches.

Double check with your local restaurant for what is fully vegan.

Taste & Texture

This Dutch Oven Beef Stew is packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of beef, vegetables, and beef broth.

The beef is tender and melts in your mouth, while the vegetables are soft and flavorful.

How to Make

Step 1

First, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.  Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop and drizzle olive oil inside.  Heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

Step 2

While the oil is heating, pat the beef stew meat dry with paper towels.  Season all over with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Brown the meat in batches.  Brown on all sides.  Remove the meat to a plate.

Step 4

Then, add the chopped onions, garlic, and balsamic vinegar to the Dutch oven.  Cook for 3 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add in the tomato paste, browned beef, and gluten free flour to the Dutch oven.  Stir and cook for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the broth and water.  Place the bay leaf inside.  Place the cover on top.  Bake for 1 hour.

Step 7

Then, remove from the oven.  Add in the chopped carrots and potatoes.  Place the lid back on top.

Step 8

Return to the oven.  Bake for another 2 hours or until the potatoes and carrots are fork tender and the meat is tender.

Step 9

Finally, ladle into bowls.  Top with fresh thyme if desired.

Expert Tips for Success

Follow these tips to make the best Dutch oven beef stew.

Use high-quality beef stew meat.

Season the beef generously with salt and pepper before searing.

Sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.  This will help to ensure that the beef gets a nice sear on all sides.

Use a cast iron Dutch oven.  This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the stew from burning.

Cook the stew for at least 3 hours.  This will give the beef time to become tender and the flavors to meld.

Flavor Variations & Add-Ins

Consider these flavor variations for your Dutch oven beef stew.

Use a combination of different types of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and porcini.

Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley.

Stir in a cup of frozen peas or green beans in the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Serve the stew with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.

How to Serve & Store

This Dutch Oven Beef Stew is best served hot with gluten free biscuits or crusty gluten free bread for dipping.

You can also serve it over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice. For a hearty side dish, try these Green Beans and Potatoes.

Ingredients & Substitutes

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for almond flour tortillas. Scroll down to the recipe card for the full ingredients list and instructions.

Use finely blanched almond flour. Do not use almond meal. I love Bob’s Red Mill almond flour.

A little coconut flour helps thicken the dough.

A pinch of salt adds flavor.

Olive oil adds moisture. Replace with avocado oil if desired.

Large eggs help bind the batter together. I have not tried this recipe without eggs. I would not recommend using chia eggs, flax eggs, or vegan eggs.

Lastly, warm water helps the dough stick together. You may need to add a little bit more water.

Taste & Texture

Almond flour tortillas are slightly nutty and slightly sweet.

The texture is chewy and slightly doughy.

These tortillas are pliable and easy to work with when warmed up. Do not try to wrap or bend them if they are cooled down.

How to Make

Step 1

First, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Continue adding water until the dough comes together and can be easily shaped into a ball. Add the water gradually.

Step 4

Once the dough is formed, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin, round tortilla. Aim for a diameter of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). Then, repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer a tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 7

Remove the tortillas from the skillet and keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a tortilla warmer.

Step 8

Lastly, serve the almond flour tortillas warm and use them for tacos, wraps, quesadillas, or any other desired filling.

Expert Tips for Success

Follow these expert tips to make the best almond flour tortillas.

Use high quality blanched almond flour. Do not use almond meal.

Ingredients

• 2 cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup warm water as needed

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

• First, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt until well combined.
• Add the olive oil and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add warm water, a tablespoon at a time, while mixing. Continue adding water until the dough comes together and can be easily shaped into a ball. The amount of water needed may vary, so add it gradually.
• Once the dough is formed, divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
• Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin, round tortilla. Aim for a diameter of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm). Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
• Then, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer a tortilla onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Remove the tortillas from the skillet. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a tortilla warmer.
• Finally, serve the almond flour tortillas warm and use them for tacos, wraps, quesadillas, or any other desired filling.

Notes

• These almond flour tortillas are more delicate than traditional wheat tortillas, so handle them gently.
• If they tear or break, you can press the torn edges together while they’re still warm to seal them.
• Use almond flour, not almond meal.
• These tortillas are pliable when warm.
• Once the tortillas have cooled, to fold them, heat them in a dry skillet for 1 to 2 minutes to help make them foldable.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.  Store with a piece of parchment paper between each tortilla.
