This quick gluten-free chicken nuggets recipe is super simple! No frying, no mess, and no gluten!
While our family does not follow a gluten-free diet, I have several friends that do. It’s nice to be able to offer them a fun meal that suits their diet perfectly.
These chicken nuggets are simple to prepare. It’s just a matter of crushing the Corn Chex, adding a few ingredients, breading the chicken pieces, and baking them.
This dish can be ready to serve in less than 30 minutes! Faster than takeout, better for you than frozen food, and yummy!

To begin, place a cup or so of Corn Chex into a zip-top bag. Add Parmesan cheese and spices.

Crush the Corn Chex

Cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small pieces, add spices

Place chicken chunks into the bag, shake to coat chicken.

Place the coated chicken onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray

Spray tops of chicken with more non-stick spray, top with more of the coating mix

Bake 20 minutes at 350*. ENJOY!

I learned that Lucky Charms cereal is gluten free.

Oh I am so excited for all these going gluten free! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about 10 years ago, and have missed those so much! So excited they are gluten free now and I can have them again! I learned that they also have a coupon for me to save at the grocery store!
I learned that Chocolate Cheerios is now gluten free.
I learned that I want to go shopping now to buy all of these new gluten-free cereals!
I learned my kiddo now has even more gf breakfast cereal options!
I had no idea that Lucky Charms and Cherrios were gluten free!
Great idea, using the GF Chex as a breading. I had not thought of that!
I learned that Cheerios makes a chocolate version. I had no idea. That chicken recipe looks delicious!
