Chicken Fried Quinoa

  • 1 1/2 cups prepared quinoa
  • 4 oz cooked, cubed chicken
  • 3 large rainbow chard leaves, washed and coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup small broccoli florets
  • 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 2 eggs, scrambled
  • sunflower oil (or your oil of choice)
  • coconut aminos (or soy sauce) to taste
  • pepper to taste



Instructions:

  1. Scramble the eggs and set them aside.  
  2. Saute the veggies in this order: 1) onions, 2) broccoli, 3) bell pepper, 4) garlic and jalapeno.  Take a couple of minutes in between adding each next veggie in order to make sure the last veggie has gotten enough time to start cooking.  
  3. Add the chard and cook until it starts to wilt.
  4. Add the quinoa and chicken and heat through.  
  5. Splash in some coconut aminos (or soy sauce).  
  6. Fold in the eggs.
