Winter storm

So we are getting ready for our 1st big snowstorm this Winter. We're going to get snow & then it's going to turn to freezing rain & the winds will pick up. We don't have a generator. Hoping that we won't lose power. I'm not a fan of snow, but we have been lucky this Winter.

Tasty Tuesday-Cheesy chicken broccoli quinoa casserole

Cheesy chicken broccoli quinoa casserole

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked quinoa
1 tsp olive or coconut oil
1 lb raw chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
6 cups broccoli florets, chopped
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 tbsp whole wheat flour
1 cup milk (or almond milk)
1.5 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375. Cook quinoa according to package directions.

While quinoa is cooking, heat oil over medium-low heat in a large skillet. Add onions and cook until almost translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-hight and add the cubed chicken. Stir in spices and saute until cooked through. Transfer to a large bowl.

While chicken is cooking, steam or boil the broccoli until crisp-tender. Do not overcook the broccoli as it will soften further in the oven. Add the broccoli to the bowl with the chicken along with the cooked quinoa.

In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 cup milk. Place over medium heat and add the remaining 3/4 cup milk. Heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheese.

Pour sauce over chicken mixture and stir until ingredients are combined and evenly coated. Add to a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle the additional cheese over the top. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven an allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
