If you’ve been missing chicken nuggets since you went gluten-free, look no further than this delicious gluten-free chicken nuggets recipe with mustard maple sauce.

Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

In my quest to cut back on gluten in our diets, I have found a few things that are hard for my family to live without. Breading has to be one of the top things that is naturally incorporated into several of our favorite meals.  I had to get creative and find a way to give our dishes a coating that was gluten-free, but also tasty, crunchy, and affordable.

I had a canister of almond flour in the pantry and thought, “Why not?” Also, while brainstorming a recipe, I thought that sweet and savory would go wonderfully with almond flavor, so I grabbed a few spices that I know we like and came up with these gluten-free chicken nuggets. I hope you like them as much as we did. I was not setting out to make a copy cat recipe, but I was shocked by how much this ended up tasting like Chick-Fil-A Nuggets and their sauce. What a happy accident!

Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients:

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. cumin

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°

2. Cut the chicken breasts into small bite size pieces and season with salt and pepper.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
