QUINOA CASSEROLE CHICKEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Place broccoli in a bowl and toss with the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until broccoli is starting to brown. Set aside.
• Cook quinoa according to package directions in vegetable or chicken broth.
• While quinoa is cooking, add olive oil to a nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Salt and pepper the chicken tenders and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally until just cooked for about 5 minutes.
• Lower oven temperature to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, milk, greek yogurt, half of the cheese, and red pepper flakes. Add the broccoli and chicken. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Pour the mixture into a baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
• Bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and heated through about 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the Quinoa according to the package directions.
• Cut up the cooked chicken into small chunks.
• Open and drain a small can of mushrooms ( or use fresh if you have!).
• Open and drain the can of black beans ( I rinse them in cold water briefly).
• If you need or want to, add whatever spices you like: garlic, paprika, pepper etc.
• If it looks a little dry- a drizzle of olive oil will help.
• Mix it all together in a casserole dish and serve. If some ingredients are cold, you may want to heat the whole thing up either in a low oven or in a saucepan on the stove before serving. I also sometimes zap it all in the microwave to heat everything through.
