These gluten free chicken nuggets are such a simple recipe but are a favourite every time I make them for my little one.
Chicken nuggets are favourite amongst kids but most pre-made or pre-packaged chicken nuggets contain food allergens such as wheat and egg as well as preservatives, additives and processed ingredients.
Keeping to my real food philosophy I simple use free range chicken mince with herbs and spices to make gluten free chicken nuggets that are actually healthy!
