Many of you are familiar with my Paleo Chicken Tenders, which use unsweetened coconut as the breading, and are accompanied by a honey mustard dipping sauce. I created those for Asher when he 2 years old and he used to devour them. Then, all of a sudden, he refused to eat them. One day he loved them, the next, he tossed them on the floor! Kids can change their tastes so quickly as they're growing and exploring new foods, and he typically would circle back around to liking something again, but with these he didn't!
With everything happening in the past year, I defaulted to buying frozen gluten-free nuggets from the store for him, which became really pricy! I always wanted to create a recipe that he would like again and I could keep stocked in my freezer. I finally had time to do some testing over the last month and we have a winner! I went with a slightly unconventional flour in my kitchen in attempt to keep things nut and coconut free for all of you.
The use of chickpea (or garbanzo bean) flour makes these nuggets fall outside of the Paleo guidelines, but they are completely grain-free, dairy-free, and nut-free! Chickpea flour is also relatively inexpensive and is also loaded with protein and folate, and is lower in calories and carbohydrates than standard flours. If you're feeding someone with a sensitive digestive system, Pure Living Brand also soaks and sprouts theirs first so it may be a good option for you to try!
You know those beer battered chicken or fish sticks you can get at a good pub? The beer helps make the batter light and airy, while providing a good crunch, so I recreated that effect in a gluten-free and kid friendly way by using sparkling water! I chose to use ground chicken because Asher prefers that, but you can just as easily cut up small pieces of chicken and dunk them in the batter as well.
This batter will also work great for fish, or even for tempura veggies! The nuggets freeze wonderfully, so I make a big batch and have them for weeks to serve when a babysitter is over or we're needing a quick dinner. This recipe makes about 20 nuggets, so if you're feeding multiple kids you may want to double it so they last you longer. The process of making them is simple, but slightly time consuming, so I prefer to make them once a month or so.
Cool the nuggets completely then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Transfer them to an airtight container and store for up to 3 months. To reheat, place the nuggets on a baking sheet and cook at 400F for or 12 minutes or 8 minutes on convection.

Winner winner chicken (nugget) dinner! Hubby and 5 year old were fighting over the last one! I think the only thing I will change next time would be to add some more spices and definitely double the recipe! The freezing/reheating instructions worked great too!
I tripled this recipe and brought it with me for my book club. Rave reviews from everyone! It was perfect to bring to an event. They are super delicious and the sauce is incredible. I am already adding ingredients to my next grocery list to make a ton more, freeze and have available all the time. Super yum! Thanks!!
These are truly excellent, very easy and quick to make, and they freeze great! I followed the recipe through to the end, using the water saute technique in the headnote and got 12 nuggets. After baking, I froze them in a single layer on a small (toaster oven-size) baking sheet covered in wax paper, and once they were frozen transferred them to an airtight container with a lid.
Not a silly question at all! The recipe makes roughly 10-12 nuggets total. I put it at 3-4 servings because I find the amount of grains here to be quite filling, but I realize that everyone is different. Hope this helps!

I made these last night, I doubled the recipe and for some reason it only created 1.5 cups cooked millet, so the mix was very loose. I tried adding a bit more psyllium powder and tossed in some flax seed to thicken it but it was still like batter. Anyway I put some sploges on a baking sheet and drizzled with oil, flipped after about 15 mins. They turned out like tasty millet cookies. My kids loved having cookies with mustard dip for lunch today! The flavours in the mix and the dip are great, I will try with nugget goals another time.
I was excited to try this with cooked quinoa instead of millet as I often have it on hand. Our version was delicious and I can report that the replacement worked very well. I made a double batch and upped the amount of carrot and broccoli just a little. I chose to finely chop the carrot and broccoli in the food processor rather than grate them and was very happy with the results. My 3yr old enjoyed making them with me as well as the end result!
These look fantastic Laura! And you always create the best sauces to accompany your delicious recipes. Although I like broccoli in any form, I recently discovered that I love it most grated up in little bites like these =)
These look really good! I am kinda hooked on Gardein products and Lightlife dogs, vegan junkfood at its finest, although I try to limit processed fakey meaty foods. Where did you get the wire mesh shelves pictured? They are very nice looking. Thank you.
