Bell & Evans Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets

I bought the Bell & Evans Chicken Nuggets at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago and had been a little hesitant to try them because I was afraid I would be disappointed. I wasn't starving when I got home from work tonight so I figured I'd make them and if they sucked I could just chuck them and make something else.

WOW.... If I knew how delicious these were I think I'd have bought a whole case!!!! Exceeded my expectations doesn't begin to say it. Not only does it taste exactly like I remember a chicken nugget tasting but they are made with real, juicy white meat so it's not a nasty, fatty nugget.

I would truly buy and eat these even if I didn't have celiac!!!

I apologize in advance to anyone that lives in my area and can't find them at the White Plains, Whole Foods because I plan on buying every box! :P

I just had to add to this post after trying the Bell & Evans gluten free nuggets last night. It was a good thing I was starving, cause I ate the entire box!!! :D I was so pleasantly surprised by these. Made my night! I have tried Ian's gluten-free nuggets before and thought they were absolutely disgusting. I got the Bell & Evans ones at my local Whole Foods. Glad I bought two boxes!!!

Is corn one of the ingredients? If any of you still have a box of these, would you mind looking.

Thanks

Oh happy day! I'm sure my new WF store opening in late Sept. will carry them then. When I asked when the gluten-free beer was coming, they said not until the new location opens. Then the guy went on to explain they are going to have a larger gluten free selection that they do now!

I was so excited after reading about these, I went to my Whole Foods (Berkeley, CA) to find them and... Sadness, they have no wheat-free chicken nuggets. I will have to request they order them next time I go in, and request all the local gluten-free people I know to do the same!

I saw these the other day at my local Whole Foods, but I didn't buy them because the box said they are processed in a facility with wheat... I'm really sensitive and can't risk a reaction, has anyone else reacted adversely to these?

Do you know if the chicken nuggets have soy in them?

I think it says on their website it says these are made on a completely seperate line than their regular products so you should be ok. I haven't had any reaction.

I had these for the first time this weekend and oh my gosh are they good! My sister and I sat there eating them together (we both have celiac disease) and kept saying "wow" and "yum" throughout the meal! :)

Really they are delicious. Pricey though...$6.50 a box at my Whole Foods...

But they are worth it!

At first I was kinda thought they were a bit pricey, but then I realized I usually get 2 meals out of a box, so I figure that is only like $3.25 per serving. :)

That is what I am thinking too. Come to think of it, I think Bell & Evans regular chicken nuggets are not that much less in price...

They are just a high-quality product with a high quality price! If I can have something taste so good and is safe to eat, then the price is worth it!

I need to go buy more as I only bought two boxes as a trial run...

I agree with the positive reviews. I was so excited that my local WF got them in- I had been checking every week and all of a sudden there they were- I was several feet away but I started running towards the freezer case- I think I scared a mother and child browsing in the area. :P

I like the fact that we have a choice between tenders and nuggets.

i know this is well covered by now, but I had to go find the thread and post again. Just tried these tonight for the first time and they are really good. I used to eat weaver chicken nuggets all the time (before going gluten-free of course) and these are at least as good, if not better.

One tip- i find they're better when a little over-cooked. Take a little longer to get crispy than the box suggests.

Thank you for bringing life back into this post. I missed it the first time around. I'm going to go look for some tomorrow at Whole Foods. They sound great.

Been watching for these ever since the original post, but no luck. Can someone please please please post the ingredient list? I could ask to have them ordered, but need to be sure they're free of my multiple interolances.

Thanks in advance!

just wanted to ditto that they are yummy- taste just like regular chicken tenders- and i also broiled them on each side to get the crispy'er they were kind of wet/mushy on the breading until broiled.

i also got mine at whole foods :)

I read this post a while ago and when I made the 2 hour trek to WF I found them. I haven't tried them yet but I am excited.

I have been making my own type of chicken nuggets. I buy chicken cutlets which are very thin and cut them in half. I use Gillian's bread crumbs which even my gluten-eating husband likes and then pan saute them. I added mushrooms and swiss cheese the other day and topped it with a honey-mustard sauce I made. It was pretty good.

I'm saving the nuggets for one of those starving days when I don't want to cook.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
