Quinoa Crusted Chicken Bites

Author Tawnie Graham of Kroll's Korner

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup cheddar shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • dash of dried basil
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Honey Mustard
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp. creamy horseradish
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet, spray with non-stick, and set aside.
  • Cut your chicken into cubed, bite size pieces and then slightly pat pieces dry.
  • In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, cheddar, Panko, dried basil, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
  • Place your beaten eggs in one small bowl, and your flour in another bowl. You are going to dip each chicken bite into the flour until lightly coated. Then dip in the egg wash, and then in the quinoa cheese mixture. You may have to form quinoa around chicken into a ball to get it to stick, and then flatten. Quinoa should stick nicely.
  • Repeat with remainder chicken pieces and then arrange chicken bites on the prepared baking sheet. Cook in oven for 30-40 minutes, until chicken no longer pink.
  • While chicken is in the oven, prepare your honey mustard sauce. Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until chicken is done.
  • Enjoy!
