Crispy, flavorful, and entirely gluten-free, these Baked Chicken Goujons are the ultimate guilt-free comfort food. Perfect for busy weeknights or crowd-pleasing appetizers, this recipe combines tender chicken breast strips with a golden, crunchy coating made from gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, and Parmesan cheese for a delicious twist. Seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, every bite offers a mouthwatering blend of savory flavors with just the right amount of spice. Oven-baked to perfection with a spritz of olive oil for crispiness, these goujons are not only healthier than their fried counterparts but also incredibly easy to prepare in only 35 minutes. Serve them alongside your favorite dipping sauce or a fresh side salad for a truly satisfying gluten-free meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide, to form the goujons.
In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
In another shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken strip into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken strips in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each strip.
Lightly spray the chicken goujons with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the goujons cool slightly before serving.
