Chicken Nuggets - Candida Diet Recipe

Yeast Free Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets – Candida Diet Recipe

February 11th, 2010 |

The first thing I had to master when I found out both of my children had multiple food allergies were chicken nuggets and french fries. I am ashamed to say that I had been giving them the ones from McDonalds a few times a week for a long time. They were in an uproar when they found out they can no longer eat them. The two year old still whines every time she sees a McDonald’s. I am happy to report that I have mastered both chicken nuggets and french fries at home and they just happen to be candida diet friendly. This chicken nuggets are gluten free, corn free and soy free unlike many of the frozen gluten free varieties available. I let my kids eat them with organic ketchup but I enjoy them with candida diet friendly ketchup or I just eat them plain. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has.

Yeast Free Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets Ingredients
1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup brown rice flour (You can use any kind of gluten free flour)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
Canola Oil for frying

Yeast Free Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets Directions
Fill a pan, electric fry pan, or iron skillet, with canola oil, leaving about 1-inch of pan at the top.
Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix 1 cup flour, sea salt, paprika, ground black pepper, and baking soda.

Add water and lime or lemon juice (The lime or lemon juice reacts with the baking soda and causes the breading to expand when cooking)

Dip a few pieces of chicken into the breading mixture and use tongs to place them in the hot oil.

After about two minutes turn the nuggets and cook for an additional two minutes on the other side. The nuggets are done when they are golden brown.
