Chicken Quinoa Casserole

Features:
    Cuisine:

    After being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I had to cut out most rice and cut way back on pasta; which used to use as the basis for one dish meals. I rediscovered Quinoa- which does not spike my blood sugar- and have been using it to make some new dishes. I had leftover baked chicken and wanted to throw together a fast dinner one night when I got home from work and was really tired. The Quinoa cooks fast and everything else was what I had on hand. I had baked the chicken with our favorite spices so this didn't need too much else, but I did toss in a little extra garlic powder ( is there too much garlic? LOL) I just mixed it all together and served it. A green salad makes it a really complete meal. My husband and I both enjoyed it.

    Mix It All Together in a Casserole Dish and Serve. If Some Ingredients Are Cold, You May Want to Heat the Whole Thing Up Either in a Low Oven or in a Saucepan on the Stove Before Serving. I Also Sometimes Zap It All in the Microwave to Heat Everything Through.
