I love the quinoa, with veggies and grilled chicken. I have been adding more quinoa since my doctor has me eliminating wheat. I need to build up my recipe box with recipes like this one. Thanks for the share.
Very yummy and versatile recipe. I added about 3 tbsp cilantro and 1 tbsp basil. My broth was not very salty so I also added some salt and a can of chick peas. I think any combo of vegies you like would taste good in this. I added fresh tomatoes at the end when I added my herbs for a nice fresh pop though green peas would work too.
Can you freeze this?
To be honest, I have never tried. I wouldn’t see why not. Let me know how it turns out. 🙂

Hi Judi, We were having some technical issues earlier, but they should be all resolved now. Try again and the recipe should be there. Sorry for the difficulty.
