Tips/Hints:
These are converted from the latest Australian Women's Weekly. I made them slightly larger than nuggets. They need to be served with a dipping sauce, I used Gentleman's relish, sweet chilli sauce and some Beetroot relish I had. We had them with vegetables too.

I didn't tell anyone that they had quinoa in and they didn't know. DH sort of asked about the flakes on the outside and I brushed him off with mumbled 'oatmeal ground up finely.' If you wished you could make the quinoa and cornflakes finer but I don't know how crunchy they would be.

Interesting recipe Cookie. I have not long ago bought my first ever packet of quinoa and only used it in soup so that it wouldn't be so noticeable. With the quinoa mixed with the chicken, it probably isn't that noticeable either but I might try it coated in just plain cornflakes first up.
