NEW RECIPE!!! Crockpot Chicken Quinoa

Chicken Quinoa Crockpot Recipe

 

I know winter is over, but I am starting to compile a list of Crockpot Recipes for Football Season. Before we know it, it will be here and I want easy, fast, recipes for the hubs to eat and enjoy between practice, meetings, and all the craziness that Football Season Brings on. This is one of my favorite Recipes. I love chicken and Quinoa and the combination is amazing.

 

Ingredients

 

For the Chicken:

• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• ½ tsp. ground coriander
• ½ tsp. cumin
• 3 garlic cloves, minced or I just use garlic powder, about 1/4 tsp
• ¼ C. olive oil
• 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs (the kind in the bag work well)

 

For the Quinoa:

• ½ tsp. turmeric
• ¼ tsp. cumin
• 1½ C. Organic White Quinoa
• 2½ C. chicken broth
• For the Sauce:
• 3/4 C. Greek Yogurt
• 2 Tbsp. white vinegar
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Add Hot Sauce for a KICK

Instructions

1. For the chicken, whisk together the lemon juice, oregano, coriander, cumin, garlic, and olive oil. Place inside a crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cover and cook until chicken is done (4 hours on high, 6-8 hours on low).
2. For the Quinoa, add the tumeric and cumin to quinoa. Add the chicken broth, cover and reduce heat. Cook 20-25 minutes until liquid has been absorbed.
3. Serve on a bed of salad with tomato wedges and shredded cheese or serve on a corn tortilla shell and make a taco out of it.
