Ridiculously Easy Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets



Miss chicken nuggets????  Not anymore.  This is such an easy make it your way recipe that you will never miss the store bought stuff.



This is what I used for tonight's supper.

3 chicken breasts cut up about 1 inch cube size
1 cup Gluten Free Bisquick (I have used other baking mixes, brown rice flour...what ever with good success.)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp  garlic salt
A grind or two of pepper from the pepper mill...or regular pepper to your taste.
1 egg



Whisk egg in one bowl.
Mix dry ingredients in another bowl.
Heat olive oil (or any oil) in a pan that you can cover on medium heat.
Moisten chicken chunks in egg mixture and then roll to coat in the dry mixture.  Place in fry pan and fry until brown, turning the chicken over as it cooks.  Place cover over the pan and allow to simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and breaks apart easily with the side of a fork.

You can spice it up with sweet and sour sauce...homemade  with Gluten Free Soy Sauce, or BBQ sauce (most are gluten free, we use Sweet Baby Rays) and serve with rice and a salad.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 crushed garlic clove ( I use a Pampered Chef Press)
1 tsp gluten free soy sauce (I use San-J Tamara  Gluten Free Soy Sauce) I found with the other soy sauce in the grocery store.



Heat these first five ingredients together to boiling on medium-high heat.

2 TBSP Cornstarch
2 TBSP Cold Water

Mix cornstarch and cold water together and add to the heated mixture. Cook and stir constantly until thickened.
Stir in:
1 can pineapple chunks-drained

Add cooked rice...YUM.

I was out of energy and canned pineapple ( I could have sworn I bought several cans).  The kids like pineapple and cottage cheese.   We just had the chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce today.

These are frozen yogurt smoothies we made for kids at our picnic today.  They are banana/ blueberry.  I didn't have Popsicle sticks so I tried skewers inside of plastic straw......we ended up using spoons instead.  Delicious!
