Ingredients

  • 4 small chicken breasts sliced into "fingers"
  • 2 cups COOKED quinoa
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
  • 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, combined the quinoa, flax seed, nutritional yeast, granulated garlic, and Italian seasoning.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and Dijon Mustard.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash mixture, and then over into the quinoa mixture.
  • Lay each piece on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • For prep ahead - freeze the chicken raw overnight and then transfer into freezer safe container. Doing this allows prevents the chicken fingers from freezing in one big ball.
  • To cook, bake at 375F for 20-30 minutes. Cook time is completely dependent on the size of your chicken. Cook to 165F.
  • If you like yours extra crispy, you can spray the chicken with cooking spray and put under the broiler for a minute or two.
