I don't want this blog to turn into a food blog, but I promised this recipe and since it was so yummy, it's worth the post. It's also super easy and HEALTHY.
Stay tuned for some new, non food posts soon.
Salsa Chicken
2-4 chicken breasts
1 can fire roasted mexican style tomatoes
Place chicken (I used frozen) in crockpot and cover with fire roasted tomatoes. Cook on low approximately 3-4 hours depending on amount and size of chicken, until completely cooked. I told you it was easy!
Mexican Quinoa
1 clove Garlic (diced)
1/2 onion (diced. I used a yellow onion but you could use white or red depending on taste preference)
1/2 green pepper
1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can diced (fire roasted or regular) tomatoes
1 can corn (drained)
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 avocado diced
juice from 1 lime
In a large skillet, spray generously with cooking spray and add onion, garlic, and green pepper. Saute until softened. Add quinoa, broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, and spices. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until quinoa is completely cooked (approximately 25 minutes). Remove from heat and add lime juice and chopped avocado.
Create a nice layer of Quinoa and place Chicken breast on top. Savor the yumminess!
