Quinoa Chicken Fingers

Quinoa Chicken Fingers

(6-8 servings)

Ingredients:

2 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

½ tsp. Salt

¼ tsp. Black Pepper

¼ tsp. Paprika

2 egg whites

1 ½ cups Cooked Quinoa (Red or White), follow package directions

½ cup Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs

As needed Canola Oil

Directions:

Cut the chicken into 1 inch strips about 3 inches long.  Sprinkle chicken with the salt, pepper and paprika and set aside.  Lightly beat the egg whites with a whisk in a small flat dish.  In a 9x13 baking dish combine the cooked Quinoa and bread crumbs.  Dip a piece of chicken into the egg whites and then into the Quinoa mixture.  Press the mixture onto the chicken and place on a sheet pan.  Repeat until all the chicken has been coated.  In a large skillet over high heat warm the oil.  When oil is hot start placing chicken fingers in pan.  Be sure not to over fill pan with chicken.  Cook on each side about 4-5 minutes.  Remove to a paper towel lined platter and repeat until all the chicken has been cooked.  Serve immediately with your favorite sides and dips.

Note:               You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this dish too.  They are usually a little less expensive.
