GLUTEN-FREE CHICKEN NUGGETS



Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets image

My 2-year-old was diagnosed with Celiac. After experimenting with several failed chicken nugget recipes, I finally came up with one the whole family loves. This is a mild-tasting chicken nugget designed for a 2-year-old. Some additional seasoning added to the Chex® should give it a more 'grown up' flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups bite-size corn square cereal (such as Corn Chex®)
2 eggs
⅓ cup rice flour
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Blend cereal in a blender or food processor until it has the consistency of bread crumbs; pour into a bowl.
  • Beat eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour rice flour into a third bowl.
  • Dredge chicken pieces in the rice flour, dip in beaten egg, and then press into the cereal to coat. Keep breaded chicken on a large plate until all are finished, but do not stack.
  • Pour enough oil into a large skillet to just cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Cook chicken nuggets in hot oil until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BAKED GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN/FISH NUGGETS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE



Baked Gluten Free Chicken/Fish Nuggets With Honey Mustard Sauce image

This is a great quick snack we make bulk, freeze in an individual layer the put in a ziplock in the freezer for our four year old. They are also great on top of a salad or in a wrap. We use the ends of our 5 grain bread so it's healthy too. The parsley adds a vitamin kick. Parmesan added to the bread crumbs for the chicken nuggets is nice for a change but not necessary and we don't use do to milk intolerance.

Time 30m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons rice flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
4 slices gluten free bread
1 tablespoon italian seasoning (for the chicken nuggets)
1 teaspoon dill weed (for the fish sticks)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 chicken breasts or 1 equivalent sized piece of firm fish
honey mustard sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon mustard
tartar sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sweet relish
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 dash salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment or spray with non-stick coating.
  • If your chicken is fresh, freeze for 15 minutes to ease the slicing or if frozen only partially thaw. Slice the small tip off at about an inch, cut in half horizontally and then slice each half in 1/4 inch slabs vertically so you end up with about 1 inch by 1 inch slices.
  • If you are using fish cut to same size.
  • Blend the Italian seasoning and parsley with the bread in either a food processor or a blender until very fine crumbs. If it's sticky and doesn't want to crumb add rice flour a teaspoon at a time until it crumbs nicely.
  • Put the rice flour in one shallow bowl the egg in another and the crumbs in a third.
  • Dredge each piece through the rice flour to coat thoroughly then the egg than the crumbs (we like lots of crispy coating).
  • Bake chicken for 10 minutes flip and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes until done. For fish 5 minutes on the first and 3 on the second is usually sufficient,.
  • They reheat nicely in a toaster oven.
  • We serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce and fish with the tartar sauce.

GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NUGGETS (EASY)



Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets (Easy) image

I made these today for a daycare and they were a big hit. The taste reminds me of french fries. They were so good I didn't even dip them in anything. So easy to make. Use flavored mayo to mix it up a bit. They dont keep very well as the potato flakes will soak up moisture and become mashed.

VEGAN FRIED CHICKEN/VEGAN CHICKEN NUGGETS (GLUTEN-FREE)



Vegan Fried Chicken/Vegan Chicken Nuggets (Gluten-Free) image

I served these to some non-vegan friends (one of whom "hates tofu") and they seemed to really like them. Based on a recipe from vegweb.com. The original called for crushed cornflakes, but when I went to make this, somebody had eaten all my cornflakes so I used Lay's Baked Potato Chips instead. I like the salty taste of the chips better than the sweet of the cornflakes, but feel free to used crushed anything here and add other seasonings to your heart's content. You can find vegetarian chicken bouillon at your local health food store.
