Craving Real Chicken Nuggets

[Sweetfudge]

I've tried to make nuggets before, but never had anything that turned out remotely like REAL chicken nuggets...except when I made them w/ tofu, but not such a huge tofu fan. Anyone have ideas, recipes, etc?

PENGUIN'S RANCH CHICKEN STRIPS

2-4 bonless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 c. mashed potato flakes (I use idahoan premium) (Potato Buds work marvelously well, too)

1/2 c. parmesan cheese*

1-2 eggs, beaten (you can get away with only one egg with 2 breasts)

4 tbsp melted butter (or margerine)

HV Ranch mock up:

3 tbsp Buttermilk powder* (found with the other dry milk)

at least 1 tsp garlic salt

" " 1 tsp onion powder

" " 1 tsp dried dill

" " 1 tsp dried parsley

" " 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

Preheat oven to 375. Mix together the ranch copy cat powder and potato flakes. Dip the chicken pieces in the parmesan, then into the egg, and then coat with the potato mixture. Do this with all of the chicken pieces. Place chicken into a pyrex dish (or other oven safe dish with sides), pieces not touching, and drizzle with the melted butter. Cook 30-40 minutes or until done and golden brown.

I made this a total junk food dinner with ore-ida fries and broccoli with velveeta sauce

I read on this board that Bell and Evans gluten-free Chicken Nuggets are good. I think people found them at Whole Foods, but I have yet to find them. I did find this on the company website:

Crush up potato chips, add potato flakes or parmesan cheese or gluten-free bread crumbs or all of these things , any type of gluten free spices, dip the chicken in egg or anything that is safe for you to make the mixture stick. Bake until chicken is cooked through at 350 degrees.

Not the healthiest gluten free dining, but they taste great.

Aww, my chicken recipe (which is really a ranch version of Nini's chicken)

The bell & evans chicken nuggets are truly awesome, completely worth it.

Aww, my chicken recipe (which is really a ranch version of Nini's chicken)

I make ninis recipe for oven fried chicken, just on pieces I have cut up from a boiled chicken breast. I first boil the chicken.. then coat with egg.. dip into potato flakes that have been seasoned with garlic powder and paprika.. and then I fry them quickly on each side... I know frying isnt the healthiest.. but they are soo good

Then I dip them into Wegmans Ranch Salad dressing. Colin loves them!

mmm, i like your ideas

i've looked at my health food stores and only found ians, and then it was only the "tv dinner" w/ 3 nuggets...not worth the $$....how do you do fish sticks?!?! yum!

[Fiddle-Faddle]

....how do you do fish sticks?!?! yum!

I cut fresh raw tilapia into strips and then follow the ranch chicken recipe. You can use any fish you like.

Dip cut up chicken breast in seasoned all purpose gluten-free flour then in egg, back into the flour then fry. :)My daughter's recipe
