Quinoa Chicken Nuggets

These are hands down the best nuggets we have tried. 
We have altered this recipe and added all sorts of spices and each time they are amazing. 
We also make large batches, place in freezer before cooking on cookie sheet To freeze and then throw into a ziplock bag. Perfect go to.

Quinoa nuggets

1/2 cup quinoa
1 cup water
1 cup cooked shredded chicken
1/4 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce ( we used my recipe)
1/4 cup onion diced
1/2 cup cheddar or mozzarella shredded
1 cup breadcrumbs ( panko worked best but I used gluten free as well)
Salt and pepper

Place the quinoa in the water and simmer until all liquid has been absorbed. It will take about 15 minutes. Let cool
Mix all ingredients. Make sure you add enough breadcrumbs to keep shape. 
We pressed each nugget into a flower cookie cutter that was around 2 inches and a small Mickey head. 
You can fry these in a pan or bake at 350 until browned about 10 minutes. 

They are amazing!
