Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 tsp chili lime seasoning (regular chili powder works too)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • Greek yogurt for serving optional

Instructions

  • Dice onion, rinse and drained black beans
  • Add a splash of oil to a deep skillet, then add onion
  • Cook for 5 minutes until soft
  • Add chicken, salsa, beans, corn and broth
  • Stir well and bring to a boil
  • Cover and lower heat to a simmer for 15-20 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed (it will continue to cook)
  • Top with shredded cheese and cover again for 2 minutes until the cheese melts
  • Serve immediately or let cool and divide into 4 containers
  • I like to serve mine with Greek yogurt and hot sauce

Notes

  • Don't worry about any excess liquid, if you let it sit there for a few minutes the quinoa will continue to absorb it.
  • Option to leave the corn out
  • I recommend heating up the leftovers - perfect lunch!
