CURRIED CHICKEN QUINOA

Ingredients

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp fresh green seasoning

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Juice of 1 small lime

3 pimento peppers, chopped

½ tsp cayenne pepper or red chilli flakes

2 – 3 cups cooked quinoa

1½ tbsp curry powder

1 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp garam masala

1 medium onion, diced

1 sweet pepper, diced

1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms

2 tbsp oil

Directions

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into medium chunks. Season with the green seasoning, garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, pimento peppers and lime juice. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Heat oil in a large sauté pan or pot over medium high heat. Mix together the curry powder with a little water to make a thin paste.
  3. Add the curry mixture to the hot oil, stirring quickly for 1 – 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens, being careful not to burn the curry. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add the chicken and mix well, ensuring the chicken and curry is well mixed together. Add the mushrooms and sweet pepper, garam masala, cumin and stir. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cover and let cook for a few minutes until the chicken is almost cooked, stirring intermittently.
  5. Mix the cooked Regal Quinoa into the chicken along with a little salt, and pepper. Cover and let heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary and serve.
