Skillet Chicken & Quinoa


Jump to recipe

I enjoy using quinoa to add some bulk to my meals and for a little variety. Typically quinoa must be cooked separately (similar to rice), but not in this recipe! I had some cooked and cubed chicken that I had frozen, so I literally dumped all the ingredients in a large skillet and simmered until it was done (no, I didn’t even sauté the onion and garlic like it says).

How much easier can you get for healthy “fast food”!? Oh, and I also added black beans this time because I thought it sounded good (and it was!). Here’s what the recipe looks like using drumsticks – not cubed chicken.
