Here’s another recipe for everyone, today I am sharing your this chicken quinoa with veggies. This dish is full with so much flavor and super easy to make as well. If you love eating quinoa as much as I do, then this recipe is for you. I make this when I do meal prepping, or when I don’t have much time in my hand. You can have your meal ready in 30 minutes.
The indigents are pretty simple, most of these ingredients you probably have on hand already. I used chicken but you are welcome to use whatever meat that you like. However chicken is just on the healthier side for me, since my husband can’t eat pork. Add the veggies to this recipe really gives it color, and more flavor.
Pair this with a glass of wine, to make it even better. If you like cooking meal that is pretty simple and easy. Then this recipe is for you, I love making this because of how simple it is. Yet, the taste is delicious, I’d say this is a kids friendly food. I know my kids enjoyed this dish, since they love eating vegetables.

we love quinoa, and your dish looks very appetizing, thank you for the receipt
Quinoa is our favorite to pair with a lot of meat dish. Thank you.
since we are vegetarians, i will be substituting the chicken for some other protein – tofu maybe.. but will try it out.. has been a while since i made a quinoa dish
This would probably great with tofu.
This sounds like a yummy combination! I haven’t cooked quinoa in a couple months and I’ll have to give your recipe a try!
It sure is. Quinoa is a great replacement for rice.
Looks so healthy and delicious! Great replacement for white rice. 🙂
Thank you, you got that right. I love eating quinoa.
Talk about a hearty, healthy meal!
Yes, it is indeed.
I love quinoa (even though not all my kids are sold on it yet!). I love using the tri-coloured type as it makes dishes look particularly appetising!
They are so delicious. Quinoa is one of our favorite to use in a lot of our meals.
