Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Recipes. (Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets). 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.

Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

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

Dinner

Directions

Step 1

Blend cereal in a blender or food processor until it has the consistency of bread crumbs; pour into a bowl.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour rice flour into a third bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour enough oil into a large skillet to just cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 5

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).
