Chicken Fingers and Fries were always my favourite comfort food. When I had to remove gluten, corn, soy, and nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant), dairy, eggs and sugar, I wasn't sure what was left to eat. So finding or experimenting with allergen-free versions of some meals I missed led to some awesome discoveries. This is one of our family favourites! 


INGREDIENTS: 
5 Chicken Breasts
1/2 Cup Milk (Almond, Coconut, Milkadamia, Hemp, Rice for Dairy Free)
1 Cup Flour (Millett, Coconut or Almond work well!)
4 tbsp Flax or Sesame Seeds (Milled Flaxseeds were used in the photo above)
2 tbsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Paprika
1 tsp Sea Salt or Herbamere
INSTRUCTIONS: 
  1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Cut Chicken Breasts into slices of equal thickness (4-5 pieces per breast). 
  3. Put cut slices in a bag or dish and cover with your choice of milk to coat.
  4. In a separate bag or container, mix up the rest of the ingredients to make the coating: Your Choice of Flour, Seeds, Baking Powder, Paprika, Sea Salt. 
  5. Take chicken pieces a few at a time and drop them in the coating and shake to coat. 
  6. Place them on a Baking Sheet covered with parchment paper. 
  7. Bake in the oven until cooked through and inside temperature is 165 degrees F.
Serve with a Sweet Dipping Sauce!
I use 1/2 jar of Apricot Jam mixed with Poppyseed Dressing (Goodness Me makes an awesome version to avoid allergens). Just stir together and enjoy!

Made to Thrive!

 
Hitting burn-out changed everything! I was twenty-two years old and felt like 90.  But instead of ending my story, being diagnosed with a chronic illness made me determined to heal and make a meaningful life!

As my outward world shrunk, I had my husband's support to grow and find the steps needed to heal.   

One day as I was asking God to heal me, I got a picture in my mind of a drooping flower bound tightly by weeds. A flash of understanding came with it. I felt as if God was saying, "Healing will be a slow process. Trust me and I will lead you to part of the weed to loosen its hold and remove its influence." This became the perfect symbol for my wellness journey - bit by bit finding healing steps and feeling life and strength return.  

I am 56 this year and feel better than I did in my twenties. Lance and I have raised three young men together and I spent 17 years as a homeschool Mom. I have become passionate about helping people discern steps to get unstuck to move toward health. It feels redemptive to use the years of research and experimenting to shorten the road for others looking for a path forward. 

Enjoy perusing my blog or follow @pegwright | Linktree for a way to connect. I'd love to pull up a chair at our table and share with you the small steps that are opening doors of possibility for life-giving change.  Let's Thrive - together!
