BAKED QUINOA AND CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f.
• Spray or brush a 9 x 13 baking dish with avocado oil.
• If your chicken breasts are thick, then slice them in half right down the center to create nice thin breasts so they cook evenly.
• Season the chicken with sea salt and pepper on both sides and add the flour to a shallow dish.
• Lightly coat your chicken on all sides with flour.
• Melt 1 Tablespoon of your ghee/butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the chicken in 2 separate batches and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown then flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter for your second batch.
• Transfer your golden brown chicken to your prepared baking dish.
• In the same preheated skillet add in your mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
• Add in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
• In a small bowl whisk the stock/broth together with 1 Tablespoon of flour until there are no visible lumps.
• Pour this stock mixture into your skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Pour this mushroom sauce over the chicken in the baking dish then sprinklewith cheese.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, or just until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
• Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
• Enjoy!
