Crispy Quinoa Crusted Chicken Parmesan with Corn and Green Beans.

I'm still on a health kick so here is a delicious chicken Parmesan but instead of breading it's crusted in cooked seasoned quinoa! Yum!First I took 2 chicken breast halves and cut each in half lengthwise. Whisked 2 eggs in a dish, and put half a cup of flour on a plate.
I rinsed and cooked 1 cup of quinoa by the instructions on the bad then added 1 tablespoon on Italian Seasoning into it.
Then I poured it into a small baking dish to have room to coat the chicken.
I salt and peppered each chicken half on both sides then dipped it into the flour.
Into the egg.
Theb into the quinoa. Pressing the quinoa to stick to the egg mixture.
Then I placed them on a baking sheet with a wire rack to make sure the bottom gets crispy too! Spray with cooking spray first! Heat the oven to 400°
Then bake for 25 minutes. Take out of the oven.
Top evenly with 1/2 a cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Yum!
Then evenly put on a cup of homemade or jarred marinara sauce and grate evenly 1/4 a cup of Parmesan cheese over each piece.
Put back in the oven for 5 minutes and then sprinkle some chiffonad basil on top before serving. So yummy!!
