Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed

  • ½ onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, or to taste, minced

  • 1 ½ pounds ground chicken

  • 1 ½ (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)


Directions

  1. Bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground chicken; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Stir cooked quinoa and diced tomatoes into chicken mixture; bring to a simmer and cook long enough for flavors to meld, about 10 minutes more.
