Chipotle-Chicken Quinoa

 This is my own recipe. I just sort of threw a bunch of things that I had in my fridge/pantry together, & it ended up being pretty good!


Ingredients:


 -1 cup (dry) Quinoa prepared according to package directions in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth 
 -1-2 Chicken breasts, cubed & cooked
 -1 can white kidney beans 
 -1 can whole kernel sweet corn 
 -1 diced tomato, or red bell pepper 
 -1 onion, diced 
 - 2-3 cloves of garlic, diced 
 - 2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach (or 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped) 
 -1-2 tsp cumin 
 -1-2 tsp cayenne pepper 
 -1-2 tsp crushed red pepper flake 


Directions: 


Combine Quinoa with chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed.


 Add cooked chicken, tomatoes (red pepper), corn, kidney beans, and spinach (cilantro). Stir until spinach (cilantro) is wilted and the beans & corn are warmed through. In a separate pan, sautee onions in olive oil until tender. Add garlic & cook for 1 more minute. Add onions & garlic to Quinoa mixture. Add cumin, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flake to taste, depending on how spicy you like it. :) Stir & mix until completely & evenly incorporated. Dish up & serve! Enjoy!
