Baked Chicken, Quinoa, and Veggies
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 block boursin (5 oz)
- 2 medium chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1.5 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 onion chopped
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- salt, pepper, and garlic powder
- 1 cup quinoa
- optional basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Place the Boursin cheese block in the center of a baking dish. Arrange the chicken breasts on either side of the cheese.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, and chopped onion to the dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- While the chicken and veggies are baking, prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the quinoa and cooking it in a pot with water in a 2:1 ratio (2 cups of water for 1 cup of quinoa) until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. You can also do chicken broth instead for flavor.
- Once the chicken and veggies are done, remove the dish from the oven. Take out the chicken breasts and either shred or slice them into bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken back into the baking dish along with the cooked quinoa. Mix everything well to combine.
- If desired, garnish with chopped basil before serving.
