Instructions
Spread out the quinoa on a piece of wax paper or aluminum foil. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the quinoa. With your fingertips, squeeze the quinoa and breadcrumbs together until the moisture of the quinoa is absorbed.
Sprinkle the chicken with salt, garlic powder, pepper and paprika.
Place the egg whites in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the egg and then into the quinoa mixture.
Warm the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Cook each side 5 minutes or until the crust begins to brown and the chicken is no longer translucent (turn once).
Transfer fingers to a plate and serve immediately.
