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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
