BAKED GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN/FISH NUGGETS WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
This is a great quick snack we make bulk, freeze in an individual layer the put in a ziplock in the freezer for our four year old. They are also great on top of a salad or in a wrap. We use the ends of our 5 grain bread so it's healthy too. The parsley adds a vitamin kick. Parmesan added to the bread crumbs for the chicken nuggets is nice for a change but not necessary and we don't use do to milk intolerance.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or spray with non-stick coating.
- If your chicken is fresh, freeze for 15 minutes to ease the slicing or if frozen only partially thaw. Slice the small tip off at about an inch, cut in half horizontally and then slice each half in 1/4 inch slabs vertically so you end up with about 1 inch by 1 inch slices.
- If you are using fish cut to same size.
- Blend the Italian seasoning and parsley with the bread in either a food processor or a blender until very fine crumbs. If it's sticky and doesn't want to crumb add rice flour a teaspoon at a time until it crumbs nicely.
- Put the rice flour in one shallow bowl the egg in another and the crumbs in a third.
- Dredge each piece through the rice flour to coat thoroughly then the egg than the crumbs (we like lots of crispy coating).
- Bake chicken for 10 minutes flip and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes until done. For fish 5 minutes on the first and 3 on the second is usually sufficient,.
- They reheat nicely in a toaster oven.

Steps:
- Preheat oven (395°F, 200°C). Line out a baking tray with baking parchment.

- In a bowl combine milk, egg, mustard and yogurt. Mix well and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Dip the fish nuggets into milk mixture to cover nuggets with the sauce.
- Take nuggets out of the sauce (using a fork) and let drip off excess of sauce and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place them on the baking tray and bake them for 10 minutes. Then heat up the oven and broil them until they are golden brown.
- Take them out of the oven and serve them hot with your favorite sauce, salsa or dip.
- NOTE: Can easily prepared in advance and freeze. Follow the directions and bake them only for 10 minutes. Take them out of the oven and freeze them. To serve: take them out of the freezer, thaw and broil them until they are golden brown.
- NOTE: I do not have given the amount of breadcrumbs needed. Sometimes I need more, sometimes less. But coat the nuggets only with a thin layer of breadcrumbs. You can replace the breadcrumbs by ground almonds. This will add a nutty flavor to the nuggets.

Tips:
- Selecting the right fish: Opt for firm-fleshed fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut, as they hold their shape well during the baking process.
- Achieving a crispy coating: To ensure a golden-brown and crispy coating, use a combination of gluten-free breadcrumbs and almond flour. The almond flour adds a nutty flavor and helps the nuggets stay crispy.
- Creating a flavorful marinade: Marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs infuses it with delicious flavors.
- Baking for even cooking: Bake the nuggets in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to promote even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Making the perfect honey mustard sauce: Whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and a touch of lemon juice to create a tangy and flavorful sauce.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free baked chicken-fish nuggets with honey mustard sauce offer a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken nuggets. They are packed with flavor, easy to make, and perfect for a quick and nutritious meal. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying dining experience.
