Kid’s Favorite Low-FODMAP Chicken Nuggets; Gluten-free, Dairy-free

Although this recipe has not been tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients

Prep time: 10 min

Cook time: 20 min

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

• 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunky cubes
• 3/4 cup low-FODMAP milk (lactose-free or almond for dairy-free version) mixed with 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • This creates low-FODMAP ‘buttermilk’
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup low-FODMAP gluten-free flour (I used Authentic Foods GF Classical Blend- my favorite low-FODMAP flour)
  • Check out my bake off blog for this flour’s results in baking tests!
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Generous amount canola oil for frying (or other preferred oil)
• Serve with low-FODMAP Special/Secret Sauce

Directions

• Set up 2 bowls
• Place egg and low-FODMAP milk/vinegar in one bowl and beat
• Place flour and seasonings in second bowl
• Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then flour mixture, then repeat again
• In a medium sized saucepan, pour the oil so that it is about 2-4 inches high
• Heat oil on medium-high heat
• Place chicken pieces in oil
• Shake the excess off each piece of chicken and carefully drop in the oil when it is hot enough, letting it fry for about 8 minutes or until crispy.
• Repeat for all chicken nuggets, you may have to add additional oil depending on the amount you use.
• Once they have been fried, place them on a paper-towel-lined plate to allow the extra oil to drip off
• Serve immediately

• Dunk in this low-FODMAP Special/Secret Sauce– or else try my recipes forlow-FODMAP (no)Honey-Dill, or low-FODMAP Barbecue Sauces
