This was one of those quick throw together dinners I made the other night that turned out awesome. Lots of protein, lots of fiber, and lots of flavor!
Quinoa, Grilled Chicken and Roasted Veggies with Goat Cheese
2 large chicken breast (apprx 1 lb)
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 cup Quinoa
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic
1 lb broccoli spears
1 lb asparagus
1 cup grape tomatoes
2 tbs evoo
goat cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Chop veggies, lightly toss in evoo, and place in oven on a foil lined cookie sheet. Cook for approximately 20-25 mins. While veggies are in oven, lightly season chicken breast and place on grill and cook until juices run clear(chicken can also be done in the oven while veggies are roasting).
While veggies and chicken are going, brown onion and garlic in a little evoo in a medium sauce pan. Add quinoa and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce temperature to a simmer and cover with a lid for 10 minutes.
After chicken is fully cooked chop into bite size pieces. In a large bowl, mix together chicken, quinoa, veggies and lightly toss. Serve warm and top with goat cheese crumbles.
Enjoy!
