Cheddar Chicken Fingers

December 26, 2014 by Lynne Leave a Comment

My kids love chicken fingers, well technically, all kids do. I try to mix it up a bit so they don’t get bored and I have been running across a cheddar chicken finger post on the internet, so I decided to make them.

For this one, I used Ian’s Gluten Free Tortilla Crumbs instead of breadcrumbs and I mixed in some shredded cheddar. They turned out so good that not one child complained! Score!

[Tweet “Make them some cheddar chicken fingers! Make them happy to be gluten free!”]

Whenever I make any kind of breaded anything, I use the “double dip” approach: I dip them in an egg wash of eggs and about a tablespoon of water, then into my gluten free flour mix with salt, pepper and any other herbs I fancy, back into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs. It works.

I also melt about a half a stick of butter and drizzle it on top so that great crunch is achieved. Mm Mm Good!

I literally threw this together, but here’s the recipe:

3 chicken breasts – cut into fingers

2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of water

Gluten free flour mixed with any kind of spice you desire

Gluten free breadcrumbs mixed with shredded cheddar cheese

This is how many just 3 chicken breasts made – that’s a mess of chickens right there!

So here’s what you do:

Dip your chicken fingers into the egg wash

Cover them in the flour

Dip them back into the egg

Cover with the breadcrumbs

Put on a cookie sheet and drizzle a small amount of melted butter over them

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes or so – it depends on how big your fingers or chunks are actually. I have found that flipping them once after about 10 minutes helps them to get crisp on both sides.

That’s it!

Super easy and the kids love them! I have also followed this formula and made coconut fingers, but that’s another post!

Happy dipping!
