GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NUGGETS AND SIMPLE GREEK SALAD

A few years ago I discovered I was allergic to wheat. With that, some of my favorite guilty pleasures were eliminated from my diet. While I am healthier for it, I still miss the occasional fried delight or slice of pizza. These nuggets are a tasty and healthy substitute for a boxed or fried chicken tender. I hope you enjoy!

GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NUGGETS

• 1lbs chicken tenders

• 2 eggs

• 1c. gluten-free all purpose flour

• 1c. gluten-free breadcrumbs

• 1tsp. paprika

• 1tsp. pepper

• 1/2tsp. salt

• 3 bowls

• 1 tin foil covered cookie sheet

Preheat the oven to 400.

Place eggs in a bowl and beat and set aside. Place flour in a bowl. In the third bowl add bread crumbs, paprika, pepper and salt and blend.

Dip each chicken nugget in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Fully coat the nugget each step of the way. Place on the cookie sheet.

Bake for 20 min. Enjoy! I like to dip my nuggets in honey mustard, but you can use whatever sauce you’d like.
