Here is how you make Quinoa Chicken Nuggets:

Make sure you are using cooked quinoa! It typically doesn't come cooked, so make sure you do that first. Personally I usually make this recipe with leftover quinoa.Preheat your oven to 325 degressCut chicken into bite size piecesCut butter into smaller pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl with the milkMicrowave the butter and milk until the butter is melted, usually 1.5-2 minutes, depending on your microwaveMix the quinoa and panko on a plate, if the quinoa is really moist, either add more panko or use a cheesecloth or paper towel so soak up the moistureDip the chicken pieces in the butter and milk wash and coat them completely. Dip the chicken pieces into the panko and quinoa mix.Place the coated chicken pieces onto a baking sheet.Once all the chicken is covered in quinoa and panko sprinkle with seasoning.Place in oven for 20-25 minutes.If you want the chicken to be crispy you can flip it over midway into the baking process but you don't have to.Serving Size: can serve 4 as main dish or 6 on top of a saladNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JEHANLEY.
