With 3 kids (and a Husband…) chicken strips are always a hit! These lightly breaded chicken strips are perfect for a quick tasty meal that’s not too heavy like the really processed chicken strips!
Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts Cut into Strips (see my gluten free chicken article to make sure your chicken is gluten free!)
- Bobs Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Oil or butter (I usually use canola oil or butter, I have tried coconut as well but not fond of the flavor yet)
Salt and pepper the chicken strips. Lightly bread with the flour. Heat oil or butter in a pan, just enough to cover the bottom, adding more if needed. Nonstick is the easiest but I’ve done these in my stainless steal as well. Once oil is nice and hot, place strips and turn every few minutes to keep from browning too much. Takes about 5-7 minutes to cook depending on the thickness of your strips. Enjoy!
Some may ask why I don’t do an egg wash. I truly like my fried foods much lighter. My Grandmother always just directly breaded the food she was cooking too. I just use the natural moisture in the food to get the breading to stick. Much simpler than doing an egg and/or milk wash! Less calories too!
