Rinse the quinoa and cook in a small saucepan with 2-3 times its volume of water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Drain any excess water and let cool slightly.
Heat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the cooked quinoa over it. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove and leave to cool.
Raise the oven temperature to 200°C.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized chunks. Beat the egg with the Parmesan in a bowl. Put the cooled quinoa on a plate. Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg mixture, then coat with the quinoa.
Arrange the coated chicken on a lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
