Quinoa-Crusted Chicken Fingers
Makes 4
Sobeys

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Mix quinoa, Parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp (15 mL) parsley, garlic seasoning blend, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Coat chicken tenders with cornstarch. Dip in egg whites, then in quinoa mixture. Arrange in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake 12 to 15 min, until chicken is cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, make dipping sauce by mixing yogourt, garlic powder and remaining parsley. Serve with chicken fingers.

Tip

No deep frying needed! Chicken tenders get a crunchy low-fat crust made with Compliments Organic Quinoa and Compliments Balance 100% Pure Liquid Egg Whites. Swap a fat-free yogourt-for-mayo sauce on the side and you’ve got a skinny dip!
