Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bites


These are intended to be made into appetizers by using a mini-cupcake pan which I have done. On another occasion, I used the normal size cupcake pan and have eaten them for lunch. They freeze well. 

Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 large egg****
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup Frank's buffalo sauce (I used about 1/3 cup for more spice)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • **** I added Flax Seed & Water as an egg substitute****

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix together all ingredients.
  3. Distribute mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top, and press down gently to compact.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
