Warm Quinoa with Chicken & Veggies

Yesterday, on my Facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/StayingFitAtHomeAtWork ) I talked about quinoa and the health benefits of cooking with quinoa. Although I posted some recipes I found online, I was inspired today to create my own recipe for a quick, healthy lunch…it turned out pretty good, I must say :)

Warm Quinoa with Chicken & Veggies

1 box cooked quinoa, according to package directions (using low sodium chicken broth)

1 cooked, chopped chicken breast

½ red bell pepper, chopped

½ cucumber, chopped

½ tomato, chopped

1 green onion, chopped

¼ tsp garlic salt

2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

While quinoa is cooking, chop & prepare all other ingredients. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl while quinoa is still warm and enjoy…even my 2 year old daughter liked it!!

1/2 chopped bell pepper

1/2 cucumber & half tomato, chopped

1 green onion, chopped, 1/4 tsp garlic powder & 2-3 tbsp olive oil

*I'm mad at myself for not taking a pic of the chopped chicken breast....as if you can't imagine what that looks like...LOL!!
