How to Make Baked Gluten Free Chicken Fish Nuggets With Honey Mustard Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a bowl, combine 1 pound of cut chicken and fish (about 1 cup each). Add 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option) and mix well.
  4. Dip each piece of chicken and fish into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Arrange the coated nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl to make the honey mustard sauce.
  8. Serve the baked nuggets immediately with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
