Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/3 cups uncooked quinoa
2 2/3 cups water
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 cups (1-inch pieces) fresh green beans
1/2 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots, cut in half lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup bite-size strips red bell pepper
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse quinoa thoroughly by placing in a fine-mesh strainer and holding under cold running water until water runs clear; drain well.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling. Add quinoa; return to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 12 to 16 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat broth to boiling over high heat. Add green beans and carrots. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cover; cook 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Stir oil, chicken, bell pepper, mushrooms, rosemary and salt and garlic into vegetables. Cook over medium-high heat 8 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve over quinoa.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quinoa didn't cook properly. It was still hard and crunchy.

This dish was too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the chicken and the vegetables, and they didn't even notice the quinoa.
