Cassava Crusted Chicken with Sweet & Sour Sauce | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Crispy cassava crusted chicken with a tantalizing sweet & sour sauce to amp up your dipping action. No more boring chicken tenders here, gluten-free and paleo, this dinner recipe will please the entire family any night of the week!

There really is nothing better than coated/crusted chicken tenders. From pretzels to almonds, (I have a plantain one too!), the possibilities are endless. A savory granola would be pretty fantastic too! Many celiacs think that with the "doom" of diagnosis, coated chicken tenders is a thing of the past. No more gluten-filled panko for you! That sadness should only last a minute before you realize the chicken coating possibilities just got better and more expansive. No more boring chicken tendersΒ for you!

Goya Yuca (Cassava) Chips - Cassava Crusted Chicken with Sweet & Sour Sauce | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Crispy cassava crusted chicken with a tantalizing sweet & sour sauce to amp up your dipping action. No more boring chicken tenders here, gluten-free and paleo, this dinner recipe will please the entire family any night of the week!

I've told you many times how much I LOVE yucca (yuca/cassava) root. My top 3 starches: ALL potatoes, yucca, and plantains. I would not be able to live without these beauties in my life. The other fun thing about these fabulous grain-free plant starches is that they make some fabulous chips. Potato is obviously, so is plantain, but then we have yucca. And lucky us, Goya makes some damn fine yucca chips all ready to be crusted (or snacked on) just for you (they also have fabulous plantain chips!).

No more boring chicken tenders here, gluten-free and paleo, this dinner recipe will please the entire family any night of the week!

So if I feel like doubling up on yucca at dinner time, making cassava crusted chicken seems like a fantastic idea (with a side of baked yucca fries). Of course that leads us down the road of "dipping". I obviously most always opt for ketchup (so much ketchup!), but sometimes a little something with a bit more tang and pizzazz is welcome. Welcome, sweet and sour sauce! And iconic Asian dip, you know, Chinese take-out battered and fried chicken with that reddish sweet and sour sauce? Yes, I'm talking about that baby!

Success! I made the Asian classic free of all allergens (I'm looking at you SOY!) and healthier of course! I even snuck in my dear love, ketchup! Now, even though cassava isn't an Asian "food" per-see, those chips make a mighty find replacement for fried chicken bites! The true Chinese take-out version of chicken with sweet and sour sauce was a favorite, but was not ordered often in out family. I mean, it's a pretty unhealthy dish! But on those occasions we did, o it was savored! Chicken.Dipping.Action!

Now, not going to lie, this chicken actually tasted pretty similar! So did the sweet and sour sauce! It was just way less greasy and heavy which is a win-win! Chinese take-out with a major regional twist but pretty perfect for anyone with food allergies! No worries about the batter or oil contamination either. Just fresh clean cassava crusted chicken and that lovely sweet and sour sauce. So first, here's the recipe for the sauce!

    I love the sound of the cassava crust! I think I might try it on something like zucchini rounds to get that crunchy fried effect and DIP THEM IN KETCHUP! Dip all the things in ketchup. πŸ™‚

    When I was little, sweet and sour sauce actually freaked me out. The stuff you get with takeout is SO red! But eventually I tried it when someone else ordered it and I stole and bite and realized how magical it is <3 I'm amazed that your homemade no food coloring, version is still very bright and beautiful! It sounds super simple, no cooking yay! Crispy cauliflower would be great dipped in there πŸ™‚

    I never would have thought to use pineapple in my sweet & sour sauce. Genius. πŸ™‚ And I'm definitely gonna be on the lookout for those chips! I've just gotten my first bag of cassava flour and I'm excited to play around with it. πŸ™‚
