Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into nugget-sized pieces
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups gluten-free cornflakes, crushed
- Olive oil or cooking spray for baking
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
- In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, garlic powder, dried oregano, basil, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water.
- Place the crushed gluten-free cornflakes in a third shallow dish.
- Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Dip each piece first into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the egg wash, and finally coat with the crushed cornflakes.
- Arrange the coated chicken nuggets on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops with a little olive oil or cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the nuggets are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F).
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving with a lemon yogurt dip or your favorite sauce.
