My heart goes out to the parents of gluten free kids! There are so many convenient "kids foods" out there and so few few that are gluten free. Here's a super simple recipe for today's g-free parent. And yes, they freeze well! Just pop them in the oven or toaster over at 425 degrees for 5 - 10 minutes.

Parmesan Nuggets

Ingredients

1 egg beaten

4-5 thawed chicken tenders

1 ¾ rice chex cereal

1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp of Italian seasoning

Directions

1.       Use a food processor to make the cereal into a fine crumb. If you would like to make this with your children, place the cereal in a Ziploc bag and allow them to crush the cereal up with a rolling pin.

2.       Mix all seasoning into the bread crumbs.

3.       Cut chicken tender into 1 inch pieces .

4.       Coat the chicken pieces in the beaten egg.

5.       Press the chicken pieces into the rice crumb mixture. Be sure all sides of the chicken are coated.

6.       Spray a baking tray with oil and spread chicken pieces in a single layer.

7.       Spray the tops of the nuggets.

8.       Bake on 500 degrees for  12- 15 mins. Flip nuggets half way through cooking time.

9.       Allow nuggets to get a golden crust on the outside (spraying them with cooking spray or oil will allow them to turn golden.

**If you want to make this recipe egg-free; replace the egg with a tablespoon of olive oil. Simply pour the oil into the crumb mixture and mix until the crumbs look like wet sand. Then press the chicken pieces into the crumb mixture.****

For a super easy dipping sauce, mix 1 part mustard to 2 parts honey.
