Kids’ plate: Crispy chicken strips
On the plate: Plain crispy chicken strips cut into pieces, green beans, a lemony dip on the side.
Make it a game: Dunk a chicken strip like a diving submarine — splashdown when it hits the sauce.
Set it aside at step 3, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free breadcrumbs, flour blend and marinara keep the crunchy crust the same as the classic.
- Kid (4–12): Plain crispy strips with a dip to dunk, mild beans on the side.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
