Equipment

  • Baking Tray
  • Baking Paper
  • Whisk
  • Medium Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup  cooked quinoa
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup cup Parmesan, grated
  • 1 tbsp dried herbs, 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.
