I’m all about cooking up lots of delicious, healthy food in my kitchen and I love it even more when it’s quick & simple! Am I right!? If you answered yes to that question – this recipe is for you!! In fact, I think the hardest thing you have to do is give the quinoa a good rinse prior to cooking it to avoid it coming out with a bitter taste – no one wants that nonsense!

Quinoa (pronounced ”KEEN-wah”) provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.  In fact, quinoa has the highest amount of protein of all the whole grains out there! Another bonus, it’s a gluten free grain so it’d be perfect for those with gluten sensitivity.

Ingredients

• 2 cup low sodium chicken stock (or water)
• 2 cups of chopped broccoli
• 1 cup of quinoa
• 1 tbsp of finely chopped garlic
• 1 tbsp of parmesan cheese
• 1-2 tsp of Mrs. Dash extra spicy (or you can use whichever Mrs. Dash or seasoning you prefer)
• sea salt to taste (I used 1/2 tsp)

Directions

• Bring the chicken stock, rinsed quinoa, broccoli and garlic to a boil, over medium heat.
• Reduce the heat & simmer until the stock has been absorbed, approx 14-16 minutes.
• Mix in the parmesan cheese, seasoning and sea salt.
• Serve

How-to

• Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Spray with cooking spray.
