Welcome to October! Now that we are moving fully into fall, you may be in need of a fun healthy week night meal for your family. These gluten and dairy free Spicy Chicken Fingers have lots of flavour and a great crunch.
The chicken is dipped in coconut milk, and then dipped in a mixture of gluten free cornflakes, gluten free crackers and a beautiful blend of spices.
Perfect for a game night or even a quick week night meal while all keeping it on the healthier side. Bake them until crispy and serve with veggies and a cool ranch dip. Even for those kiddos that are picky about what they eat, they will love these!
