Homemade chicken nuggets
These are super easy to make and very yummy. I originally got the recipe from my sister-in-law over at Gluten Free For Jen. We’ve made a few changes to it though.
Here’s what you’ll need:
cookie sheet(we normally use 2)
boneless skinless chicken breasts–we cut them up into cubes that are approximately 2inches by
2inches
1-1/2 cups gluten free flour mix(can use bisquick or just a blend of flour–I use my flour mix which
is made up of brown rice flour, amaranth, millet, and teff flours, to this I add 2 tsp baking soda
and a pinch of sugar for this recipe.)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 Tb garlic herb seasoning(I use Tones brand and love it! Buy it in the huge container at Sam’s and
use it on lots of things)
4 eggs
Scramble up the eggs. Mix the parmesan, herb seasoning and flour mixture all together. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil(optional–I don’t use the foil) and spray with a nonstick cooking spray(make sure to check as not all are gluten free). Place the chickend pieces in the egg mixture, into the flour mixture-roll around to coat well. You then can dip back into the eggs and recoat in the flour, but you don’t have to . My kids like it better with one coating of flour. Place on the cookie sheet and bake at 450 degrees until done(12-14 minutes, turn once at 6 minutes to prevent overdoing one side).
Serve and enjoy! We like to eat these with our homemade french fries, fresh fruit with yogurt and a nice lettuce salad.

I think these look great and are much better for you than store bought. I am going to try these.

With six girls and 1 boy we– love things that are like this, and would be as costly as the ones you buy in the store, and much better for you– I appreciated this recipe — will be trying this soon

Sounds like a fun recipe to make with the kids although I hate to admit that I’ve never heard of amaranth, millet, or teff!

Yes! I love how I can add more or less parmesan if I want. Thanks for sharing!
