gluten-free chicken strips

Chicken strips have been around forever. They are such a simple yet delicious meal that makes them a beloved family-friendly meal. However, for me, it is all about the dipping sauces! I love buffalo sauce, ranch, and – included in the recipe below – honey mustard. These gluten-free chicken strips will go perfectly with your sauces, and be the non-cheat ‘cheat meal’ that you need.

Why Gluten-Free?

Those with celiac disease, a wheat allergy, or gluten sensitivity know how gluten can impact them negatively. Moreover, some of the drawbacks include headaches, bloating, abdominal pain, brain fog, and constipation. Even if you haven’t been tested, going gluten-free can have benefits like weight loss and improved Gi-health. It is also important to look at the nutrition facts and ingredients of GF foods. Sometimes, to improve the taste, there will be not-so-great additives. Thankfully, with this recipe, you are pretty safe!

Ingredients

  • 8 Chicken Breast Tenders
  • 1/2 cup Gluten-Free Rice Flour
  • 2 large Eggs whisked
  • splash Non-Dairy Milk
  • 2 cups GF Rice Cereal
  • 1 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Paleo Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp Whole Grain or Spicy Brown Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Honey may add more for taste
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Kosher Salt to taste

Instructions

Chicken Strips

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Take out 3 shallow, flat-bottomed containers. I used some rectangular glass Tupperware. In the first bowl, add the rice flour. The eggs and non-dairy milk go in the second bowl. Whisk to combine well.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, add the cereal and spices. Pulse multiple times until it resembles bread crumbs. Add this mixture to the third bowl.
  • Take a chicken tender and dip into the rice flour, making sure it's completely coated. Add the tender to the egg mixture and let any excess drip off into the container. Lastly, dip the tender into the cereal-herb mixture, making sure that is completely coated well with no bare spots at all.
  • Transfer the covered chicken tender to the baking sheet, and repeat this process with the remaining chicken.
  • If you have some sort of cooking spray, be sure to spray the top of the tenders. If you do not, do not worry about it; it will just help them brown a bit more.
  • Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes on the top rack. Turn the oven to a high broil for 3 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 4 minutes at 425 again. Return the temperature to a high broil and broil for the last 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with honey mustard sauce.

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, mustards, honey, and garlic powder. Taste for and add salt and pepper to preference.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one 1 week.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
