Tender chicken pieces are marinated and cooked with onions, garlic, and bell peppers, creating a delightful harmony of textures and tastes.

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water and set aside. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa, reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

Step 2

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add grated ginger and turmeric to the pan, stirring well to combine the flavors. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 4

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Cook until chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through.

Step 5

Slice the bell pepper and add to the chicken, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until tender.

Step 6

Combine the cooked quinoa with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
