CHICKEN, SWEET POTATO, AND QUINOA STIR-FRY
It seems that everywhere I look lately, there are great quinoa recipes. This is one of them! The colors are vibrant, it's easy to make, and it tastes great! I've modified it slightly from the version in Prevention Magazine: (1) non-stick spray; (2) pre-grilled chicken; (3) an extra clove of garlic; (4) an extra jalapeno pepper; and (5) optional chicken broth and lime juice.

Steps:
- Chop up all the vegetables. But don't combine them, keep each separate.
- Combine water and quinoa in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until liquid has been absorbed. About 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the sweet potato into another small saucepan with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm. I add them to the cooked quinoa, and cover the pot to keep warm.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan or wok over medium high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or use 2 teaspoons canola oil (or a little chicken broth). Add chicken and cook until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes (If using pre-cooked chicken, heat for just a minute or two). Remove to a bowl and keep warm.
- Return frying pan to heat and add more nonstick spray or another 2 teaspoons canola oil or chicken broth. Add onion and jalapeno pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 1 minute. Add bell pepper, garlic and cumin. Continue cooking until veggies soften, about 2-3 minutes. If desired, add 1/2 cup chicken broth to make the dish more moist.
- Stir in peas and chicken and cook 2 minutes.
- Add quinoa and sweet potato. Cook, stirring often, until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro, salt, black pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes without any blemishes or bruises.
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the sweet potatoes plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the sweet potatoes will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the sweet potatoes over medium-high heat: This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Stir the sweet potatoes frequently: This will prevent them from burning.
- Add a little bit of oil: This will help the sweet potatoes to brown and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Add your favorite seasonings: Garlic, ginger, cumin, and chili powder are all great options.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best when served hot.
