Who doesn't like a 5-ingredient dinner/snack? Granted, there could be a little more prep time depending on what you have laying around but for a mom that's always on the go with Baseball Practice and who knows what else...this is perfect.
I cooked my Quinoa in my rice cooker, it was super easy to just dump it in there and walk away. If you don't have a rice cooker, just follow the instructions on the back of the bag. You can find Quinoa in the rice section of the grocery store usually, if not there check by the Organics.
Side note: Whether I cook my Quinoa in a pot or in my rice cooker, I always cook it in Chicken Broth, adds more flavor! You'll notice the difference between water and Chicken Broth, I promise!
If you have some cooked chicken already, perfect. If not, I usually get a rotisserie chicken and just shred it. Luckily, Matthew's mom has been buying me whole chickens and cooking them in the crockpot for me (because she's awesome) and then sending the shredded chicken home for me to use and freeze!
Are you ready? I promise you, it may seem simple...but it's so tasty!
If you're feeding 3+, double the recipe.
Ingredients:
Ready, set, mix!
*If you're feeling extra sassy, throw some avocado in there as well. That extra pop of color is great on the eyes, and on the taste buds! I'm a space cadet and forgot to grab them when I was grocery shopping tonight. Feel free to add whatever other vegetable you want. this is yours to play around with.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup Quinoa (make sure to rinse it first, which is a chore because half of it falls out of the bottom of your strainer...)
- 1/2 can whole corn
- 1/2 can black beans
- shredded chicken
- Spices of your choosing - I use salt, pepper, garlic powder and some red pepper flakes for a kick!
- Either cook your Quinoa per instructions on the bag, or in a rice cooker and let it cool for about 15 minutes after it's done.
- Throw it in a bowl, then mix everything else together (I just taste test on the amount of spices I want) and then...you're done.
