How to Make Healthy Chicken Nuggets.

Serves 4 · Prep: 25 min · Cook: 20 min

Make It

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Spread 1 cup cooked quinoa evenly on a parchment-lined tray and bake 20–25 minutes, stirring often so it does not burn. Once crispy, set aside to cool.

2. Raise the oven to 390°F.

3. Whisk 1 egg with ¼ cup grated parmesan in a bowl. Put the crispy quinoa on a separate plate.

4. Cut 1 lb chicken breast into chunks. Dip each piece in the egg, then coat in the quinoa.

5. Place on a parchment-lined tray and bake 15–20 minutes, until cooked through.

Notes

• The quinoa has to be crispy before it goes on the chicken. That step is what gives you a coating rather than a soggy crust.

• Make the crispy quinoa ahead and keep it in a jar. It cuts this recipe to 20 minutes.

• Serve as the Quality Protein and Complex Carbs in any balanced meal.

• Use it in a No B.S. Salad or a Protein Bowl.
