Directions
In a skillet, sauté the cubed & salted chicken breast in 2T of EVOO. Add garlic & onion to enhance flavor of chicken. Add 1T dried herbs. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add carrots, broccoli, celery and mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly limp, but still bright in color (you do not want overcooked vegetables, as they lose vital nutrients when overcooked)
In a pot, add quinoa and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed. The “germ” ring will open and be exposed. (A rice cooker could be used instead).
Add quinoa to chicken. Add fresh herbs. Add ½ cup EVOO (or ¼ cup of EVOO & ¼ cup Hemp oil, unheated!) & freshly ground pepper
