Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast strips
- 3 slices gluten free white bread
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp onion salt
- 1/2 garlic granules
- 2 tbsp plain gluten free flour
- 1 large egg
- Light spray oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6.
- Add the bread to a food processor along with the oregano, paprika, chilli powder, onion salt and garlic granules. Blitz until they form a fine breadcrumb.
- Empty the breadcrumb mix onto a plate. Add the gluten free flour to a second plate and then on the third plate, crack the egg and lightly beat it to combine.
- Take one of the pieces of chicken breast and coat it in the gluten free flour. Next, coat it in the beaten egg, then finally coat it in the breadcrumbs, making sure to press them in well so the entire piece is covered. Gently shake off any excess and then place it on the baking tray.
- Repeat with all the chicken pieces until they are all coated in breadcrumbs and on the baking tray. Lightly spray with the oil and then place them in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot.
Notes
- This gluten free breaded chicken can keep in the fridge for 1-2 days and be eaten cold. Alternatively you can freeze it once cooked, just make sure you defrost and then reheat thoroughly.
- For a spicier coating, add extra chilli powder or add some dried chilli flakes. For a milder option omit the chilli powder.
