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.

BAKED FISH NUGGETS



Baked Fish Nuggets image

I had five pieces of IQF tilapia defrosted tonight, but no inspiration on how to prepare them. I happened to look in the freezer and see a bag of tater tots. "Finger foods sounds good" I thought. So I tweaked a recipe from a Cooking Light cookbook into this recipe. My kids loved it. They ate them with ketchup while I prefered tartar sauce. We all also had tater tots and applesauce.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pieces tilapia fillets, defrosted
1/2 cup skim milk
3/4 cup fresh breadcrumb
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon ground pepper
cooking spray
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the fresh bread crumbs on a cookie sheet and place them in the oven until they are toasted (3-5 minutes). Take them out and set them aside to cool.
  • Turn the oven up to 425 degrees.
  • Cut the tilapia into slices about one inch thick. (I cut mine on the short side because my kids are small and like small nuggets.).
  • Put the tilapia in a bowl and add the milk. Stir well.
  • In a large ziploc type bag add the toasted bread crumbs, cornmeal, and pepper.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish from the milk and put the pieces into the bag. Seal it and then shake it up so all the pieces are coated.
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Place the nuggets on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the tops with salt.
  • Bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15-25 minutes.
