Oven Fried Chicken Nuggets with Easy Dairy-free Ranch

Tuesday, May 03, 2016 Alanna Figueira 4 Comments

These nuggets are the closet thing to frozen nuggets I've gotten and the kids love them!  They reheat well too.  Paprika is a bit spicy so you may want to cut it in half for picky kids but these are not too spicy for my kids.  I've been enjoying them over salads with my favorite ranch dressing.  Feel free to make the ranch the original way obviously, but this is an easy way to make with from mayo since these days there are excellent clean mayo choices like Sir Kensington's   Their latest mayo is avocado oil based and tastes amazing.  This way, no emulsions or oils are necessary!  This is plenty ranch for dipping the chicken, but I like to double the recipe to have some on hand for salads.  Please let me know what you think of these nuggets by tagging me on Instagram! 

Oven Fried Chicken Nuggets with Easy Dairy-free Ranch


Ingredients:


1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into nugget sized pieces 

Coating:

1 large egg
2 tbsp mayo 

Breading:

1/2 heaping cup cassava flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder 
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp dried turmeric
Cooking spray (I use avocado oil in misto bottle)

Directions:


Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and top with a baking rack.  Spray baking rack with cooking spray.  

Whisk egg and mayonnaise together in a medium mixing bowl.  Add chicken and mix to coat. 

Add all breading ingredients to a gallon sized ziplock bag.  Add chicken and shake until each piece is evenly coated with batter. 

Place each piece of chicken on baking rack, not touching one another.  Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray.  

Bake in preheated oven for 25-35 mins, or until cooked through, flipping each piece halfway through cooking.
