Categories     Chicken Recipes

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup quinoa
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
½ onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, or to taste, minced
1 ½ pounds ground chicken
1 ½ (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground chicken and break into small pieces while cooking until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir cooked quinoa and diced tomatoes into the chicken mixture; bring to a simmer and cook long enough for the flavors to meld, about 10 minutes more.
