Healthy Chicken Fingers

By sarahbettine

Many of the "healthy", grain-free/gluten-free recipes result in a less-than-exciting taste, have breading that just won't stay on and lack crispiness. These are so tasty that you could easily bring them to your next neighborhood potluck or barbecue. (Plus, you can feel great about this grain-less, gluten-free, highly nutritious chicken recipe.)
