Great introduction to chicken for a histamine intolerant baby. Very few ingredients, no eggs, and so appetizing. I recommend leaving out any spices they haven't tried if it's their first time eating chicken. It's best to introduce one new food at a time.
You guys. I LOVE this chicken nugget recipe. If your kids are anything like mine, chicken nuggets are a main staple. Usually my kids prefer McDonald's or Dino Nuggets, but since neither of those qualify as low-histamine, these were a great find! And all of my people will eat them, which is a rare thing at my house.
I've made several kinds of homemade nuggets/chicken strips in the past, but most were fairly time-intensive, messy (egg, flour, and milk=gooey mess!) and not allergen friendly. These are SO easy and not messy! I am so thankful for the woman who made up this recipe. I only made a few minor tweaks to make it low-histamine friendly.

Hi!
We are new to the histamine diet. One week in so far. I found your blog and it’s been extremely helpful! So thank you !
Question. I have fresh chicken from the farm. It’s in the freezer. How do we make these without thawing them first ?
Any tips are helpful !
Katie
I’m so glad it’s been helpful!
I’ve never tried making these without thawing the chicken. I usually use the defrost setting on the microwave until they are thawed enough to cut. Then I pat them dry, coat them, and bake them. Here’s a helpful article from MastCell360 (an amazing blog about MCAS & histamine intolerance) about thawing meat.
Thank you so much Stacy. Just made these and we love it. O nice and perfect. Made it Specially for my lil one too who has been diagnosed with histamine intolerance. I too am constantly looking for recipes. Wishing your lil one too a complete healing , quick recovery n good health. 🙏🏼❤ I do understand how hard it gets. Lots of love.
Thanks for this recipe! Just fyi paprika is absolutely not low histamine and is 100% to be avoided on a low histamine diet
You’re welcome! About the paprika, I know it’s a controversial one. I follow the SIGHI list which rates sweet paprika as a level 0 histamine. I do need to make a note of that in my recipes, so thanks for pointing it out!
