What you'll need:
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 package of Simple Truth Skinless, Boneless, Organic Chicken Strips
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 2 cups water
- As many vegetables as you want (your choice): broccoli, cauliflower, celery, red onion, red pepper, and yellow pepper
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 2 tsp red cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- hot sauce/sriracha (optional)
How to make it:
1. Place your coconut oil in the wok (or skillet) along with your thawed chicken breasts. Heat until chicken is completely cooked through (there should be no pink on the inside).
Note: Timing and heat depends on chicken that you buy. You may want to eyeball this. Adding chicken is optional if you don't want to make it vegetarian/vegan.
2. While your chicken is being cooked through in the wok (or skillet), place your 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups of water in a pot. Wait until water comes to a boil and then place the lid on the pot and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
3. While chicken and quinoa is cooking, chop up your vegetables into bite sized pieces.
Note: Jen suggests using any vegetables you have in your fridge! The more color, the more beautiful, and the more healthy your stir fry! You can't mess this up.
4. Once chicken is cooked through, add your vegetables to the wok (or skillet) along with your spices: 1 tbsp turmeric, 2 tsp red cayenne pepper, 2 tbsp curry powder.
Note: Jen notes that these spices can be altered to one's "spice appetite." Once again, you can't go wrong.
5. Stir your vegetables and chicken around until vegetables become hot and soft. This will depend on how much you use and what vegetables you use, so once again, you may need to eyeball it.
6. Once everything is cooked through, add your finished quinoa! You can also add the sriracha or hot sauce, if you want! This is optional.
Note: There is no need to drain quinoa. The quinoa should have soaked up all of the water.
A Word on Spices from Jen: "Using spices is a nice way to flavor everything without the gross additives found in pre-made sauces or powdered packaging!"
Now you can enjoy this DELICIOUS stir fry! How beautiful is this?!
