Baked BBQ Quinoa-Crusted Chicken Tenders

Chef Tip: For a freezer-friendly dish, prepare recipe through step 3; freeze 2 hours or until frozen. Transfer chicken tenders to freezer-safe zip-top plastic bag; freeze up to 3 months. To bake chicken tenders, preheat oven to 400º, place on foil-lined baking pan and bake from frozen 30 minutes as directed in step 4. Dietitian Tip: Make these ahead and freeze for an easy week night meal. Serve alongside frozen sweet potato fries and frozen broccoli, or place on top of salad greens and toss with the dressing.
