Chicken Nuggets

Ingredients

    Ingredients

    • 2 lbs chicken tenderloins
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tablespoons raw milk or nondairy milk of choice
    • 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
    • 1/2 cup einkorn flour
    • 1 cup chickpea crumbs (breadcrumb alternative)
    • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp sea salt
    • 1/2 tsp paprika
    • Avocado oil cooking spray

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 F

    2. Line a sheet pan with a silicone liner or parchment paper. If you have a wire baking rack, fit that into your sheet pan and set aside. If not, you can bake the nuggets directly onto the pan. Spray lightly with cooking oil.

    3. Cut your chicken tenderloins into quarters or about 1-inch pieces.

    4. In a mixing bowl, mix together the egg and milk. Place chicken into the bowl and stir until chicken is all coated. Add in the arrowroot powder and mix again until everything is coated in a thick mixture.

    5. In a separate bowl, mix in the breadcrumbs, einkorn flour, and all seasonings.

    6. Using tongs, remove the chicken one at a time and dunk them into the breadcrumb mixture making sure it gets evenly and completely coated. Place onto the baking rack and repeat until all chicken is coated.

    7. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 F
