Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast Cubed
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 clove Garlic Finely chopped
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups Quinoa Rinsed
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Chives
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Or buttermilk substitute prepared at least 15 minutes ahead: 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • In a large pan, sauté the onion on medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken and season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook until almost completely cooked through.
  • Add garlic and sauté for a minute or two but not too long so you don't burn it.
  • Add chicken broth, rinsed quinoa, parsley and chives.
  • Cover and bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Once boiling, turn down to medium, add buttermilk and cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is much softer.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the cheese.
  • Add extra cheese if you want.
  • Top with fresh or dried parsley for a garnish.
  • Serve warm.
