Quinoa with Chicken, Asparagus and Red Peppers image

I wanted to make a quick and light recipe using quinoa, and I had some asparagus and red peppers in the fridge -- who knew that the combination could taste so good!

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ red bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • Stir quinoa and chicken broth together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the quinoa has absorbed the chicken broth, about 15 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook and stir the chicken breast pieces in the hot oil until no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Stir asparagus and red bell pepper into the skillet and cook and stir until barely tender, about 3 more minutes.
  • Lightly mix cooked quinoa into the chicken and vegetables until thoroughly combined, heat for 1 to 2 minutes, and serve.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, the asparagus was mushy, and the red peppers were burnt. The quinoa was also undercooked and crunchy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the chicken to be a bit dry. However, the asparagus and red peppers were cooked perfectly.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used brown rice instead of quinoa and it turned out great. I also added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. Will definitely make again!
