This is a great gluten free treat and so easy to make. Your kids will love you for it!

Serves: 4

Prep: 25 mins

Cook: 20 mins

INGREDIENTS:

  • 450g chicken breast fillets, cut into chunks
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • ¼ cup Parmesan, grated
  • 1 tbsp. dried herbs, of choice

METHOD:

  1. Set oven to 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.
  2. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the chicken nuggets on a baking tray covered with baking paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.

If you have an airfryer, it will work lovely in there too!
