Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa uncooked
- 1 lb chicken breast cubed (about 3 breasts)
- 1 onion chopped or sliced sliced
- 1 red bell pepper chopped or sliced
- 3 bok choy chopped into 1" pieces, stalks
- 1 cup cashews whole
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 TB soy sauce
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 TB rice wine vinegar or other light vinegar
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 TB mirin sweet Japanese cooking wine
- 1 tsp ginger powdered
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- green onion sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Layer ingredients in slow cooker (this classic Crock-pot has lasted us years!) in this order: quinoa, onions, peppers, bok choy, chicken.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together liquid ingredients EXCEPT for 2 TB Mirin. Pour this sauce over ingredients in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
- In a small frying pan over medium heat, quickly saute cashews with 2 TB Mirin for about 20 seconds. The Mirin should caramelize on the cashews, forming a stick-sweet coating like candy. Set aside.
- Before serving, top your quinoa chicken with candied cashews, sesame seeds, and sliced green onion.
