Yummy! Was looking for a recipe to use up chicken broth and came across this one. I didn’t have onion or garlic or parsley so I used 2 teaspoons of adobo seasoning for the flavor plus salt. Had to cook a little bit longer for the quinoa to soak up all of the liquid, but in the end, it was delicious. My one year-old ate it up, as did I!
Wish I had read the reviews. Followed this recipe exactly and the water isn’t absorbed at all. Put it back in for another 20 and still not absorbed. What a waste of ingredients
I followed recipe exactly. White Quinoa and vegetable broth. Put it back in oven for an additional 20 min. I found it very bland tasting. What can I add for more flavour?
I threw in some frozen kale in addition to the broccoli and also about a tablespoon of crushed red pepper. We like a bit of spice. Hub gave it a thumbs up.
This was my second time making this, great "go-to" dinner that's simple to put together! The first time I made it, it came out perfectly with white quinoa. The second time I used a blend that contained a bit of red quinoa mixed in; this took 10 more min to cook in the oven, but otherwise still worked out great!
I doubled the recipe and subbed in White Basmati (2 cups rice to 4 cups chicken stock), omitted the chickpeas and added chopped bbq chicken at the end (mixed it in before adding the cheese) and it turned out PERFECT! Cooked for exactly 45 min plus 4 min to broil. WOW! Kid approved, super delicious!! Will be making this again, thank you Lexi and team for another WINNER!!
