This tastes indulgent! It also includes 4 superfoods; spinach, tomato, quinoa, and garlic. Sorry mushrooms! So deeply satisfying and delicious! It’s a perfect bed for beautifully sliced cooked chicken breasts. But, if you want to eat vegan, you may have already “batch cooked” the quinoa, if not, directions are provided below for my favorite way to cook it; in an instant pot, a new version of the electric pressure cooker. Vegans and vegetarians will know, the quinoa has so much protein on its’ own, you don’t really need to add any meat!
Here’s a link to my recipe for Instant Pot Quinoa.
