{Tasty} Tuesday

Thanks to Pinterest & a friend who shared her lunch (literally) I have found my new favorite recipe!  

BBQ Quinoa Salad

What you need:
1 Package of Chicken Thighs (or 2-3 Chicken Breasts)*
Prepared Quinoa (1 Cup Dry)
1 Can of Corn (drained)
1 Can of Black Beans (drained & rinsed)
2-3 Tbs BBQ Sauce

Garnishes you can add to take it up a level:
2-3 Chopped Green Onions
Diced Avocado
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Fresh Cilantro

*Cook & shred the chicken at an earlier time.  I do mine in the some BBQ sauce in a low oven (225*) for about an hour-hour & a half.











Prepare 1Cup of dry Quinoa according to package directions.

Fluff with fork & transfer to serving bowl.
Add chicken, corn, beans & bbq sauce.
Mix well, serve & garnish.


















Besides being yummy; quinoa is super healthy & packed with tons of protein.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Enjoy!
Rachel
