Chicken And Quinoa Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Cook chicken in 2 Tbsp. dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently. Spoon into bowl; cover to keep warm.
• Heat remaining dressing in same skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms and peppers; cook 4 min., stirring occasionally and adding garlic for the last minute. Add quinoa, broth and water; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until quinoa is tender.
• Stir in chicken, parsley and lemon juice; cook and stir 2 min. or until mixture is heated through. Remove from heat; cover. Let stand 5 min.; top with cheese.

Steps:

• Mix water, quinoa, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and chicken bouillon granules in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until white threads appear on the quinoa grains, about 15 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and red bell pepper in hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt.
• Stir red wine and soy sauce into the vegetable mixture; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Mix quinoa and vegetables in a large serving bowl; top with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa twice and drain well.
• Pour chicken broth into a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium-high heat; saute onion and garlic until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir quinoa into onion mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa is toasted and coated in oil, about 3 minutes.
• Slowly pour wine over quinoa mixture; cook and stir until wine is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Ladle 1/2 cup chicken broth over quinoa mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Continue ladling broth, 1/2 cup at a time, over quinoa mixture; cook, stirring frequently, until quinoa is tender and has burst, about 20 minutes. You may not use all the chicken broth.
• Mix Parmesan cheese and cream into quinoa mixture; season with marjoram, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add a splash of chicken broth to make quinoa more creamy, if desired.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the tomatoes and creme fraiche. Transfer to a mixing bowl and use a wooden spoon to beat in all but 2 tablespoons of the basil. Reserve the remaining basil for garnish.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat and saute the shallot until softened, about 2 minutes. Add quinoa and salt and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the tomato puree at a time to the pan, stirring until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the puree until 6 cups have been added.
• Place the quinoa in a serving dish and drizzle the remaining tomato puree around the edge of the bowl. Garnish with the remaining basil.
