Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 /2 cup onion diced, white
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed and drained
- 2 teaspoons garlic about 4 cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup half and half
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes drained well, canned
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons basil more for garnish, chopped
- 1/4 /4 cup Parmesan Cheese more for sprinkling
- 1 lb chicken cooked and sliced (see note)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter and add the onion, quinoa, and garlic. Cook until onions are soft and translucent about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, half and half, tomatoes, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until most of the mixture is absorbed. Stir in the basil and Parmesan cheese. Warm the chicken or add it on top and cover to warm the chicken.
- Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and basil to serve.
Notes
- This recipe calls for one pound of cooked chicken. You can use grilled, baked, pan-seared, or rotisserie chicken.
- Half and half is just equal parts cream and milk. So for one cup of half and half, you could use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup cream.
- If you want it lighter in calories you can use all chicken broth instead of half and half.
