Top Quinoa, Chicken, and Veggie Pilaf

Ok, so here is what I do when I do not want a lot of prep (or brain activity), But still what a great great meal full of protein and lots of yummy vegetables. Quinoa (pronounced Keen-WA) is a big bow in his hand is full of protein, calcium and iron, and cook quickly! At the end of the week drag what a waste vegetables, saute them and throw them in this dish. And different every time, but easy all the time!

Chicken pieces browning

Sauteing vegetables; red pepper, onion, & garlic

Everything combined in one skillet before adding it to the quinoa...

Ingredients:

3 cups chicken broth

1.5 cups quinoa

2 cloves garlic

1/3 onion (use what you have)

1-2 chicken breasts

veggies of your choice; I have used these combinations:

• red pepper, brocholi, red onion, chicken
• mushroom, snowpeas, yellow bell pepper, green onion chicken
• carrots, celery, onion, left over turkey pieces

Directions:

When a large frying pan, add the chicken broth and quinoa, and simmer for a comet when you prep everything else. When it reaches a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Wash and dice the vegetables (if you add the chicken, wash and cut into cubes, and even a frying pan aside, the season S & P and some garlic powder). When all the vegetables are chopped, add a tablespoon of grape seed oil in a pan, add the vegetables and garlic and sauté about 3-4 minutes. At this point, I hope your quinoa to be almost ready for cooking, so you can add vegetables and chicken mix thoroughly, cover and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Add all the spices you like, or leave as is its light taste and vegetables taste yummy.

*** Lots of times people give me feedback in person, so I will try to pass it on when I remember to add it to the post. A recommendation for this dish was to serve it with Soy Sauce or Bragg Liquid Aminos if it is to bland for your pallet.
