Chicken and quinoa with vegetables

Ingredients

Method

  1. Add quinoa and chicken broth to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. 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.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add in sliced chicken breast pieces and cook until juices run clear and chicken is fully cooked (165 degrees F).
  4. Remove the chicken meat and set aside.
  5. Cook the mixed vegetables in the sauce pan until tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to saucepan and sprinkle with lime juice and fresh basil leaves.
  7. Serve over hot quinoa.
