Quinoa con Pollo with Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- To serve, divide the cooked quinoa among serving plates, top with the cooked chicken, and roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy!
