Okay - you have decided to go GFCF - But what do you feed your kid? Never fear - This recipe will be a staple, even my husband loves them!
There are 2 different versions one with egg one without - today the egg free!
Egg Free, Gluten Free, Casein Free Chicken Nuggets
Ingredients:
Canola Oil - for frying
Boneless Chicken or Turkey sliced 1/2 thick or less
Namaste Sugar Free Pizza Crust mix
Salt to taste
Directions:
Make sure the meat is fairly uniform in thickness, rinse and pat dry. Cut the meat into strips or chunks (whichever your child prefers), put about 3/4 of a cup of the pizza dough mix into a quart sized zip lock bag. Place some of the meat into the bag and close securely. Shake the bag until the meat is completely coated. I have my child do this and we sing "Shake your Turkey" to the KC and the Sunshine Band's "Shake, Shake, Shake" tune. He loves it.
Heat some canola oil in the heaviest pan you own. Make sure that you keep the heat at medium so you don't set off the smoke alarm like I do! Place the coated meat into the pan once the oil is hot. There should only be enough oil to cook one side. Let them cook while you shake another batch. Turn the cooking meat when the top side is almost completely white and the bottom side is crispy brown. Only flip once. When both sides are done let them drain on a clean white dish towel and add salt to taste. The first time you might want to crack one open just to make sure the inside is done - if it isn't you need to reduce your heat. Serve after they have cooled slightly.
If you drain them sufficiently they travel well - I take them to birthday parties and on car trips with a cold pack. You can microwave them to heat them up - 20 seconds does the job.
We make chicken nuggets occasionally but we make turkey nuggets all the time - I buy Trader Joe's sliced turkey cutlets and cut them into strips - it takes seconds to get them in the pan. We purchase the Namaste Sugar Free Pizza Dough mix at Whole Food's Market and Lassen's Health Foods. The Pizza Crust Mix also makes great bread sticks and a pretty decent pizza crust - It is a god send!

Wow you made the morning...I couldn't be happier that you are enjoying the Namaste Foods products!!!
Wow, being a mom of a GF child, now in his twenties and as a special education teacher I am impressed with your dedication to your son.
I always believed that if my son was not diagnosed with CF he would have been autisic. I remember the behaviors before we found out what was wrong with him.
You are a wonderful mother and I enjoy your sight.
