Guest guest Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh Carol, I feel as if I've been waiting for someone to ask this question for ages! My most favorite favorite FAVORITE recipe EVER is the following... *Garlic Chicken Quinoa* This particular recipe holds a great deal of significance to me. This meal surfaced in May of 2005 when my selection of foods were rapidly dwindling and I was just discovering the grains that extended beyond wheat and brown rice. Another thing is that I rarely repeat recipes because I get so excited about all of the other possible concoctions out there that I dare not " waste " a repeated moment on the palate. This is one of the few exceptions because I love it and it loves me. And finally, this has withstood the test of typically scrutinizing friends and family members when it comes to trying new things or otherwise " healthy eating. " I try to use this as my intro recipe when luring skeptics over to the other side ;-) Enjoy! Becca :-D *Garlic Chicken Stir Fry* *Serves 4* * * 1 Cup quinoa (dry) 2 Cups chicken broth/water 3 Tbsp coconut oil 1 ½ lbs chicken, cut up in 1 inch cubes 2 medium onions, sliced thinly 4-5 cloves garlic, minced 2 different colored bell peppers 20 leaves fresh basil, chopped small (or 2 Tbsp dried) Sea Salt and pepper to taste *Rinse quinoa through a mesh strainer and put in saucepan. Add chicken stock. Bring to boil, then simmer and cover for 10-15 minutes or until stock is absorbed. Heat large skillet or wok to a med. heat with oil. Place cubed chicken, sliced onion, & minced garlic in skillet until chicken is cooked through.* *Add peppers (or other choice of veggies) and cook 4-6 minutes or just until limp, but still brightly colored. Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Add cooked quinoa into skillet and remove from heat. Add basil and stir in until wilted.* > OK, I am also looking for a kid approved quinoa and meat recipe, probably > chicken, and no dairy either (my 9 y/o is suddenly having GI issues again > after being well for 4-5 years. :-( I do not have many quinoa recipes, > and I have none with meat.
