Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon butter

¼ cup brown rice flour

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 pound chicken tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 8-ounce can low-sodium tomato sauce

1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar

1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon gluten-free Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons honey

Directions

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the flour with the salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess, and place each piece in the skillet.
• Cook the nuggets for 4 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and browned.
• Mix the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, mustard and honey in a small saucepan with a wire whisk until well combined. Heat over low heat until the sauce just reaches a simmer.
