Paleo Buffalo Chicken Nuggets

 
 
For Sunday Football, I wanted to do a different version of Jack's football fave, Buffalo Wings.  Since I have been having some digestive problems when eating certain meats, red meat in particular, I wanted to try something new.
 
All the Paleo recipes I have tried in the past have been amazing, so I was looking forward to this recipe because like Jack, I love Buffalo Wings as well.
 
The kids especially loved these nuggets, cause hey, lets face it, what kid doesn't love nuggets.
 
Ingredients:
 
Paleo Chicken Nuggets 
1 pound ground chicken (a little fat makes for a moister nugget)
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut flour
2 tsp. Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
 

Paleo Chicken Nugget Coating

1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp. salt
 

Buffalo Chicken Nugget Sauce 

1/3 cup Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce
 
 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
 
In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup coconut flour, onion powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
 
In a medium bowl place the ground chicken, one egg, 2 tsp Frank’s hot sauce and the coconut flour mixture.
 
Mix with hands until well-combined but do not over mix.
 
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and roll into little meatballs. (You should end up with about 20.)
 
Shape each meatball into a flatter, “nugget” shape. (I did this assembly-line style)
 
Combine the remaining 1/4 cup coconut flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt and dip each nugget gently into the flour mixture until coated on all sides.
 
Place the coated chicken nuggets onto a baking sheet covered with a Silpat or parchment paper.
 
 
 
Bake for 15 minutes.
 
While chicken nuggets are baking, stir together 1/3 cup Frank’s hot sauce and 3 tablespoons ghee or butter and heat until warm and combined.
 
Once the chicken has baked for about 15 minutes, remove chicken nuggets from the oven and carefully dip each one in the butter mixture until coated on all sides.
 
Place each nugget back on the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
