Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, celery, spinach)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
  • Next, add minced garlic and cook for another minute, making sure it doesn’t burn.
  • Stir in the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Then, add in the quinoa and mixed vegetables.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper, reducing to low heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the quinoa has absorbed most of the liquid.
  • Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add fresh herbs of your choice for a burst of flavor.
