Spicy Chicken and Quinoa
Ingredients
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, or to taste, minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 1/2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Combine chicken broth and quinoa in a saucepan, then initiate boiling. Gradually decrease heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until quinoa becomes tender and water is fully absorbed, typically taking 15 to 20 minutes.
3
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the onion and garlic in hot oil until it reaches a translucent state, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce the ground chicken and cook while stirring until it reaches a browned, crumbly consistency, usually within 5 to 7 minutes.
4
Combine the cooked quinoa and diced tomatoes with the chicken mixture. Allow it to simmer until the flavors harmonize, taking around 10 minutes more.
