GERD Friendly Chicken Nuggets – Low Acid

Serves: 1
Prep and cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4-5 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour (we use freshly milled Einkorn flour)
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning blend (or organic herbs of choice)
  • Celtic salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil

Instructions:

  1. Set up your breading station: In one small bowl, whisk the egg with a pinch of salt. In another bowl, place the flour.
  2. Cut the chicken breast into four equal pieces. Season with salt and the poultry seasoning blend.
  3. Place the chicken pieces between plastic wrap and gently pound to tenderize.
  4. Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
  5. Working quickly, dip each chicken piece in the egg, then coat with flour on both sides.
  6. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the heated pan.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan, cover, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the water evaporates.
  9. For crispier nuggets, cook uncovered for an additional 1-2 minutes.
