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 usually a fan of quinoa, but this dish changed my mind. The quinoa was light and fluffy, and it paired perfectly with the chicken and vegetables.
