Gluten Free Amazingness
Quinoa is a high fiber, high protein super grain. You can’t go wrong combining quinoa and cheese.
I found a similar recipe on Pinterest, but since I’m completely incapable of following a recipe – I came up with a slightly different version. Mostly thanks to my half Italian cousin who insisted on the Romano cheese.
4 cups cooked quinoa (I season it with bouillon, garlic, and pepper)
1 medium diced onion
2-3 good sized chicken breasts, cooked and diced
4 cups (ish) broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups Romano Cheese
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar
1 container cream of whatever soup – Pacifica soups are gluten free. You can also make your own
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
A couple cloves of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste. Romano is salty, so don’t go crazy on the salt.
Mix it all up. Put it in a LARGE casserole dish. Sprinkle some cheddar on the top. And bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
You can easily make this vegetarian by simply leaving out the chicken – it would be great with just the broccoli.
I apologize for the not-so-great photo. It was half eaten before I decided to take a picture!
you know it’s a good recipe when you can’t stop eating it long enough to take a picture 🙂
<3 quninoa! I use it in a mexican-ish salad with peppers, onions, black beans, cheese, and cilantro. Eat it like a salad or scoop it up with tortilla chips!
