Chicken and Quinoa Dinner

Happy President's Day!

Yesterday I committed to posting some healthier recipes so, I'm starting with Chicken and Quinoa Dinner! I discovered Quinoa a few months ago and absolutely love it now! The best part is that its so versatile. You can mix just about anything with it. Sometimes, I just check what's left in the frig, and mix it with a box of quinoa. And did you know it has so many health benefits?! Quinoa is high in both protein and fiber! Mix it with some lean chicken and veggies and you've got a delicious, healthy dinner!
