Kids love chicken nuggets, but so do adults and luckily it’s easy to make those nuggets even more exciting and more nutritious. For the coating we use pre cooked quinoa and you won’t believe how nice it crisps up.

Note: Feel free to use all or none of the everything seasoning or only put it in half the coating. Make extra, you can freeze these.

Vegetarian: Use portobello mushrooms, cauliflower or broccoli in place of chicken
