Chicken with Quinoa and Vegetables
A quick chicken recipe that can be adjusted to include whatever vegetables you have on hand.
Ingredients
Directions
- Bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pan.
- Simmer until the broth is absorbed, the quinoa is fluffy, and the white line is visible in the grain, about 12 minutes.
- While quinoa is cooking, chop garlic and onion. Dice zucchini and tomato.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet; cook and stir the garlic scapes and onion until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken breast strips and cook until the chicken is still slightly pink in the middle, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove the chicken meat and set aside. Pour 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet and cook and stir the zucchini and tomato until the zucchini is tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet and sprinkle with feta cheese, basil leaves and lime juice.
- Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and hot, about 10 more minutes. Serve over hot quinoa.

It was a nice presentation and idea, but even with the broth, I felt that it lacked some flavor. I even marinated the chicken in a dressing, but it still lacked the savory sensation. Perhaps it's just me. I'll try it again, but try to add some kick to it.
