I made a breading mixture out of gluten-free bread... any kind that you can find.. Either toast or dry in the oven you want it really dry. Put in food processors and grind up till very fine crumbs, enough for 2 cups.

Then add 1/4 cup cornstarch, 4 T salt and 1/2 tsp gluten-free garlic powder. Combine well, I use ziploc baggy to combine and to bread things...

Depending on any other problems, dip cubed chicken breasts in buttermilk, milk or soy milk if lactose intolerant, then dredge in the crumbs. I find it helps to let the breaded chicken chunks dry for at least 10 minutes.. on a cookie cool rack or even just a plate. Then put them on ungreased cookie sheet and cook for 20-30 mins at 350 F

Be careful of dips.. I dont know what he uses for dip but be sure to check labels.

Here is what I do. It's not really a recipe but maybe it will help.

Cut raw chicken breast or thigh meat into chunks. Dip into beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper. Coat in cornflake crumbs (dry crust that is extra crunchy) or a combination of cornflake crumbs and ground pinenuts (my secret ingredient, you could use another mild-flavored nut like macadamia?), about a 4:1 ratio (less crunchy, with a nice texture) place on a baking sheet coated with parchment paper (to prevent sticking) You may want to drizzle or spray a little butter on the nuggets before baking or the coating may seems a little dry, but you don't need to do that if you use pinenuts in the crust. Bake at about 350 degrees until done. About 15 minutes depending on the size of the chunks. I use the Nature's Path cornflakes but I imagine there are other gluten-free brands. My daughter loves these with yam fries and honey-mustard for dipping!

There is also a gluten-free brand, Wellshire Farms, that is available at some Whole Foods stores. I like them OK, they are a little "processed" tasting to me, but kids love them.

Hope that helps!

Does anyone know how to make stuffing for turkey that is gluten free? the health food store only has awful tasting bread here so as far as drying out my own I am lost. Also any ideas on pies, rolls, gravies etc. I would really like to make a feast this year.

Thanks
