Directions:

1

Start by pre-heating the oven to 190C and prepare a baking tray by spraying some cooking oil on parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, add milk and chicken breasts. Place the potato starch on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper to set aside.

In addition, in a small bowl whisk the eggs and leave on the side.​
Follow this step by adding quinoa to a bowl with basil, and combine together to set aside.​

Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.​

Remove from oven carefully and add 2 tablespoons of marinara over each breast and top with a sprinkle of the mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese and heat sauce; serve with fresh basil. ​

Take one chicken cutlet out of the milk and dip lightly on both sides in potato starch, then shake to remove excess starch.​

Dip starch coated chicken into eggs to coat and then into quinoa.​

Press the quinoa firmly into the chicken breast, then place on baking sheet. Do this for all chicken pieces​.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over chicken breasts evenly before cooking for 25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each breast. Sprinkle with some mozarella also before returning to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Top with fresh basil if desired before serving. Enjoy!
