Crispy Gluten Free Breaded Chicken

This gluten-free breaded chicken is incredibly crispy and delicious to dip!  Even those who don't eat gluten free are sure to love it.  Try your own variations by tweaking the seasoning, try Parmesan, spicy or peppery, just adjust the breading to whatever you like.  We served ours with some wild rice and fresh green salad and some tasty dipping sauces. Try barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, honey mustard or even ranch for dipping.  Enjoy!

Recipe: (serves 4)
Ingredients:
8 boneless, skinless chicken tenders (or 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
1/2 cup gluten-free all purpose flour mix (use your favorite mix)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large egg 
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups crushed gluten-free rice chex cereal or GF corn flake cereal

Directions:
1. In a shallow dish, mix the gluten free flour, salt, pepper and seasonings.
2. In another dish, whisk together the egg and olive oil. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
3. In a last dish, spread out the smashed cereal (here's where you'd mix in any additional flavorings such as Parmesan cheese, black pepper, cayenne, etc)
4. Dip each chicken strip in flour mixture, then in the egg mixture and lastly, dredge with the cereal and place on a baking sheet.
5. Bake in a 450'F oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping once half way through, or until chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165'F. Serve hot with your favorite dip.
