1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt

1 cup uncooked quinoa
3 cups chicken broth
1 tsp. garlic powder
12 oz bag of broccoli florets (~4 cups roughly chopped)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice chicken into 1-inch wide pieces.
Roughly chop broccoli.
Heat oil in your largest skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with sea salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
Add quinoa to pan, and cook another 2 minutes. (We’re not cooking it here, but just toasting it.)
Deglaze the pan by pouring in broth and scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and add in garlic powder, mushroom soup, sour cream. Stir to combine, then stir in broccoli to combine.
Pour into a 9×13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 20-25 more minutes, until top is golden brown.
