Want a family friendly gluten free, kid approved, healthy dinner? Then try my quinoa crusted chicken fingers! Quinoa is high in fiber protein and antioxidants as well as a good source of magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus: minerals needed for strong bones. Not to mention, the crispy texture is great! I served them with broccoli and brown rice for our family dinner.
