Submitted by ajsorren on

 

Servings: 4 (6 to 8 pieces Per Serving)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup brown rice flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 8-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon gluten-free Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey

Directions

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Mix the flour with the salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, and place each piece in the skillet.
  4. Cook the nuggets for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and browned.
  5. Mix the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, mustard and honey in a small saucepan with a wire whisk until well combined. Heat over low heat until the sauce just reaches a simmer.
  6. When the chicken is done, dip each piece into the sauce to coat it and place the nuggets on a serving plate.
