Quinoa and Dukkah Crumbed Chicken

August 11, 2012 · 3 Comments

Quinoa and Dukkah Crumbed Chicken

Welcome to yet another recipe in my Just say NO to nuggets campaign!

I have been making this one for a while now and was pretty chuffed that Australian Healthy Food Guide published it in 2010 as a reader recipe.

This recipe is gluten-free, egg-free and contains protein-packed quinoa and lots of yummy spices.

Okay, so this is what you need:

500g organic or free range chicken, cut into strips

1/2 cup buttermilk (use homemade mayo if you are dairy-free)

1/2 cup of organic quinoa flakes

1/2 cup of dukkah (purchase from spice aisle or make it in your thermomix)

1/2 tablespoon of Herbamare

Okay, so this is how you do it:

Marinate the chicken strips in buttermilk. I like to leave it overnight as it makes the chicken really moist and tender, but a couple of hours is okay.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.

Mix the quinoa flakes, dukkah and Herbamare well and place on a plate.

Taking the strips one at a time, slightly wipe off the buttermilk on the side of the bowl.

Roll in the quinoa mix, pressing it on firmly.

Chuck them onto a tray lined with baking paper and give them a spritz with some oil.

Fling them into the oven to cook for about 10 minutes, depending on how big your strips are.

Our favourite dipping sauce to serve with this is mango chilli chutney and greek yoghurt.

It is lovely served with a huge salad and nice the next day in a wrap with salad for lunch.

Enjoy.

As always, I love to know if you make one of my recipes, so come back and leave me a comment!

    Oh, I love the idea of the Just say NO to nuggets campaign! Brilliant. And a fabulous recipe too. Delish! I have to admit I’ve only been introduced to quinoa a few months back, but really want to start using it myself now! Thanks for the inspiration! x
