One-Skillet Quinoa And Chicken Dinner
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup red onion, chopped
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, or to taste
- 6 ounces shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese (such as Kraft(R))
- Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, frozen vegetables, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Pour tomatoes and water into the skillet with the chicken; bring to a boil. Stir in quinoa and cilantro. Cook until quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes; the dish should look thick and saucy. Spread an even layer of Cheddar cheese on top.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Place skillet into oven and melt Cheddar cheese under the broiler until bubbly and golden, 2 to 3 minutes; be sure to watch carefully to prevent burning.
