GLUTEN-FREE SHAKE AND BAKE ALMOND CHICKEN



Gluten-Free Shake and Bake Almond Chicken image

This is my go-to recipe when I'm in a hurry. It's so easy, and yet so good. Because of the coating, the chicken is always extra juicy. Kids can't tell they're nuts (looks like breading) and love it. It's healthy (and grain-free for those with allergies). Everyone asks me for the recipe...that's my cue to add it to Allrecipes!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 2 chicken breasts, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb chicken breast (2 breasts)
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/3 cup toasted almond, finely chopped
1 green onion, chopped
4 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
3 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons flour (Wondra works well)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Boned chicken breasts are thicker on one side than on the other. To make them more uniform, slice horizontally through the thick part and lay the meat "open". Do not cut the thinned section from the rest of the breast meat. Pound both sides with back of cleaver. One side will be smoother than the other. Mix light soy, sherry, salt and white pepper together and mix in chicken meat. Set aside 20 minutes. Wash and drain lettuce. Shred. Finely chop toasted almonds. Make sauce: Mix 4 T. cornstarch and 3 T. water in saucepan until smooth. Gradually mix in broth, butter, soy sauce, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for about 1 minute; reduce heat and keep warm. Make batter: Beat together 3 T. cornstarch, flour, baking powder, egg, and water until smooth. Coat chicken with batter and cook 5-7 minutes in 375* oil until golden brown. Drain chicken on paper towels. Cut cooked chicken into strips, put on bed of shredded lettuce and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds and green onions. Spoon on sauce and serve with steamed or fried rice.
