Gluten Free Coating For Chicken Or Fish
Replace The Breadcrumbs With Corn Flakes
Being allergic to gluten has triggered a whole round of re-developing favorite recipes to be gluten free - including this recipe for a gluten free coating for chicken or fish.
After several trials, this iteration of a favorite recipe is the best so far. It is easy to make, the ingredients are usually right in the pantry, and it's delicious.
There are a few tools needed, such as a Ziploc bag, rolling pin, and a shallow dish to put in a portion for dredging the chicken or fish.
Package of Fresh, Locally Caught Sea BassThis is our system, that works very well and uses the least amount of dishes, always a consideration when you hand wash and don't use a dishwasher.
There are several very shallow casserole or baking dishes that are used daily in our household. They are originally from a restaurant and were probably used for baked spaghetti or something similar. We picked them up at the recycle center in with a lot of other dishes.
This is the fish cooking in olive oilIf you have something similar, that's what you might want to use. First, beat an egg into one of them. Then put a half cup to a whole cup of the coating into another.
You can dry off the fish or chicken, then put it into the egg to coat it, then into the coating. Then into hot oil - we use extra virgin olive oil but coconut oil or other vegetable oil will do. Butter might not be a good option as it has such a low burning point.
Now to the ingredients of the coating;
- One cup of all purpose flour - I use Bob's Red Mill 1-1 flour, but your choice of quinoa, oat flour or whatever you prefer.
- One to two cups of crushed corn flakes - I put it in a Ziploc bag and roll it carefully with a rolling pin, rather than use a food processor, but if you put it on pulse it will work. Don't over process them, you want a little variation in sizes.
- Your choice of seasonings; I use Club House Greek seasoning for a lemony flavor, or Mediterranean Seasonings if you prefer more herb flavors. Some salt, to your taste, and any other dry seasoning. I use Country Herb dressing mix for many things, this included. See more of my secret ingredients.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, right in the Ziploc bag.
It keeps in the freezer in the bag for weeks, ready for use at a moments notice.
Sorry, I couldn't wait for the photo op - I had to eat it right away!If you prefer to season each time you make this meal, just make the basic coating. You'll make it often, especially if you like fish on Fridays.
It keeps well in the fridge for a sandwich the next day but don't re-freeze it, it will go soggy.
