Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 3 teaspoons olive oil divided
- Juice of 1 lime divided
- 2 teaspoons chili powder divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin divided
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- ½ teaspoon salt divided
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper divided
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ¾ cup dry quinoa
- 8 ounces green beans trimmed & cut in half
- ¾ cup chopped tomato
- 1 ¾ cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken tenders, 2 teaspoons olive oil, juice of ½ lime, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, lime zest, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet (I use my Everyday Pan) over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken tenders. Cook for 1 minute on each side. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon ground pepper. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the quinoa, green beans, tomato and chicken broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Nestle the chicken tenders into the quinoa mixture and pour in any accumulated juices. Re-cover the skillet and continue to simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the quinoa is cooked, about 15 minutes.
- Squeeze the remaining ½ lime over the mixture, garnish with cilantro and serve.
