Homemade Quinoa Chicken Nuggets
Health Highlights

Ingredients


454 gm Chicken breast cutlets (lb. (450g); cut into chunks)
1 cup Quinoa, cooked (185g)
1 medium Egg (beaten)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (30g)
1 tbsp Italian herb seasoning (dried; of choice)

Instructions


  • Set oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a baking tray covered with baking paper and evenly spread out the cooked quinoa. Bake for around 20-25 minutes, checking often and stirring to avoid burning. Once quinoa is crispy, set aside to cool.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 390°F (200°C).
  • Whisk the egg in a bowl together with the Parmesan and herbs. Prepare a separate plate with the quinoa. Dip the chicken chunks first in the egg, then coat with the quinoa.
  • Place the chicken nuggets on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
