GFCF Chicken Tenders

Here is another really kid friendly recipes which my kids like. I prefer baking these in the oven so the oil stays below it’s smoke point.

1# chicken breasts
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 tsp cornstarch
4 tsp oil
1 egg white
1 egg yolk mixed with 2 T coconut milk
1 cup GF bread crumbs
cooking oil (I prefer macadamia oil (390˚ smoke point) or peanut
oil(450˚ smoke point)

-Place breasts between waxed paper and pound with meat pounder until
evenly thinned.
-Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
-Sprinkle with cornstarch and oil turn to mix chicken, place in glass
bowl (or ziplock bag*) and keep in fridge for 20 minutes to 24 hours.
-Mix egg whites into marinating chicken and let stand 20 minutes (in
fridge)

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 Tablespoons oil in pan and put
in oven to melt oil and preheat.
-Remove chicken from fridge and add in egg yolk mix.
-Shake off excess coating from chicken pieces and press into bread
crumbs to coat.
-Cook chicken in hot pan in oven for 30 minutes. Then turn up the heat
to 375 degrees and cook another 15 minutes to brown.

  • Amanda Youngblood - Is there a way to adapt this so it's also egg-free? My son loved nuggets, but I'm not sure how to make my own without using eggs…ReplyCancel
