One Pot Braised Chicken With Quinoa Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large sauté pot over medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, mix sea salt, black pepper, and marjoram. Rub the seasoning mix over chicken thighs. Place the chicken tights in the sautéing pot and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Stir in garlic and let it sauté for 30 seconds until it releases its flavor. Then pour in ½ cup chicken stock. Toss in fresh thyme and bring to boil. Lower the heat and cover. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
• Move the meat to the sides of the pot to make room in the center for mushrooms. Stir in the mushrooms and scrape the bottom of the pan to lift brown bits. Let mushrooms sauté for a few minutes until they release their juice and shrink in size.
• Stir in quinoa and pour in the rest of the chicken stock. Bring to boil, then lower the heat and toss in the green peas. Cover and let simmer 15 minutes.
• Turn the heat off keeping the lid on. Let rest for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dice chicken breasts and cook thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add crushed garlic and a diced jalapeño pepper (leave the jalapeño seeds in for extra spice).
• Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, roughly 30 minutes.
• Stir in diced avocado, cilantro, and lime juice.
• Serve garnished with extra cilantro.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt and pepper. In a deep 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook, undisturbed, until nicely browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Turn heat to medium-low, add the onion and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, cinnamon and red-pepper flakes, and cook until the garlic and the spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices and the coconut milk, and stir until combined, scraping up any brown bits that have formed at the bottom of the pan. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet along with any juices that have accumulated. Simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the rice, if using, among bowls and plate the chicken on top, spooning additional sauce over it. Scatter with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if you like.
