Quinoa and Chicken


Here is the recipe that I was looking at last night, to inspire my quinoa dish.
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
DIRECTIONS:
1.Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in quinoa and allow to toast for 2 to 3 minutes, then add chicken broth, soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until all liquid has been absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Fluff quinoa with fork and top with green onions before serving.

So here is what I did.

I used a jar of my bottled chicken.
I heated the chicken in my skillet with 2 cloves of garlic and a big scoop of coconut oil.
Then I added 4 cups of cooked quinoa, 2 Tbsp of liquid aminos (soy sauce), and 2 tsp of chicken boullion seasoning. 

I'm glad you liked it!
I'm adding some broccoli to it today, for lunch.
