   Homemade Chicken Nuggets!
(Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free!)
    A Family Favorite!

  Before food allergies joined our family, chicken nuggets were a huge hit with our boys.  We adjusted things when we found out Elijah, our oldest, had severe egg allergies and learned exactly which restaurants had egg free nuggets and which brands were OK to buy.  Now that Samuel, our youngest, has a wheat allergy and possible Celiac disease, like I do, we had to find a new plan of action when it came to those dinner favorites that were no longer an option.  I finally came up with a delicious recipe that everyone in the family, even those who have no allergies, love! 
  
Homemade Chicken Nuggets!
(Gluten, dairy, and egg free!)  

1 lb boneless skinless chicken (cut in 1 inch chunks)

2 cups Almond milk

1 cup Gluten/Dairy free all purpose flour

(I use Pamela's baking and pancake mix, but it does
have dried milk in the mix, so don't use it if you
have a dairy allergy).
Another good all purpose flour is Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour.

1 cup crushed corn chips (an ingredient passed on by Melissa!) 
(You can also try crushed potato chips as well!)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Vegetable Oil
(enough to cover the bottom
of your pan in about a half inch
of oil)

Combine crushed chips, all purpose flour, and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl and mix well. 

In a separate shallow bowl pour in Almond milk. 

Heat oil in a pan on medium to medium high heat.  

Coat chicken chunks in almond milk and then coat them in the breading mixture.

Place coated chicken nuggets in the heated oil in a single layer. Do not place too many pieces at once, this may not allow for even cooking.
Cook chicken nuggets about 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.  
Remove golden nuggets and place in a paper towel lined bowl or plate and serve!

                                                    Hope you enjoy this family classic!
                                         Having food allergies doesn't mean you have to give up
                                     the foods you love.. you just find ways to make them better!
