Ingredients

  • 2-3 large chicken breasts

  • 1/4 cup pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup plain dairy free yogurt
  • 1.5 cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 cup avocado oil

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts into bite size chunks and place them into a large freezer bag.
  • Add coconut milk, pickle juice and yogurt to the the bag. Seal the bag, massage the marinade into the chicken. Let the chicken rest in the bag for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Mix together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Transfer the chicken chunks to the bowl with a slotted spoon and mix well to coat.
  • Add oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat.
  • Add nuggets in batches to the oil and let cook for 4 mins per side. I check the color before flipping, it should be a nice golden brown.
  • Once both sides are golden, remove from the oil and let rest on a paper towel.
  • Enjoy!

You can also bread the nuggets using a shake and bake method. Drain the marinade, add dry ingredients to bag and shake,shake,shake.
