Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cups frozen pepper and onion blend
  • 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1 serving sour cream optional
  • 1 serving green onions optional
  • 1 serving shredded cheese optional

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Large Pot
  • Frying Pan
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Mix together chicken stock, salsa, frozen pepper and onion blend, fajita seasoning, and quinoa together in a large stock pan.
  2. Add in whole pieces of chicken and ensure they are submerged in the liquids.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes, or until quinoa has absorbed most of the liquid and chicken is cooked through.
  5. Serve with any of the desired toppings.

Notes

  • You can cook up boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs in the stock as the quinoa cooks, or you can dice up leftover chicken and add once the quinoa is cooked.
  • Feel free to omit the chicken for a vegetarian dish.
  • In place of the homemade fajita seasoning, use 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon each of salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder.
  • You can use fresh slices of frozen peppers and onions instead of frozen slices.
