Well, we haven't cooked it in a while around here. Too crappy for you. But its been mentioned often.
Well, Husb challenged me to make it healthy(ier). Challenge accepted.
It may not be a diet food, but at least its less processed and made from good food. :)
Crockpot Cheesy Chicken and Quinoa
Ingredients:
2-3 chicken breasts (frozen or thawed)
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and chilis
2 cans of cream on chicken (but MAKE it! Takes 5 minutes....)
1 diced onion
1 minced garlic clove or 1 tbsp powdered garlic
1/2 tsp salt
6 cups cooked quinoa
1 cup sharp cheddar
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
2 cups frozen corn
In a crockpot on low, put chicken breasts, rotel, cream of chicken, onion, garlic, and salt.
Cook on low 4 hours for thawed chicken, 6 for frozen.
Shred the chicken.
Add the quinoa, cheese, yogurt, and corn. turn on high for 30 minutes.
To make 6 cups of cooked quinoa, how much raw to we use?
ReplyDeleteAbout 2 cups dry should do it!
DeleteI like to cook my quinoa in a rice cooker with 1 part quinoa to 1.5 parts liquid (broth is amazing but water is fine)
Its a little less than what the package calls for but I like my rice and quinoa that way.
Or if you don't have a rice cooker, the stove top with the package instructions should be fine!
Let me know how it goes. Thanks for posting
