Making Turmeric Chicken Quinoa is really easy. especially for a midweek meal, you can even freeze any leftovers to0. You can make this vegetarian or use any other meat instead.

The beauty about dishes like this is you can add any veggies you want really but I would suggest that you use the red cabbage, leave the chicken out for a vegetarian meal and add more veggies.

Further Food Commentary:

When you’re rushed for dinner, brown rice–or even white rice for that matter–takes way too long to cook. Quinoa is not only a great rice substitute rich in fiber and protein (and a gluten-free food), but it only takes 15 minutes to cook. Get pre-rinsed quinoa if you can, or rinse the seeds vigorously in water before cooking to remove the saponins. Quinoa is a seed that’s eaten like a whole grain, and can even be mixed with fruit, nuts, cinnamon, and non-dairy milk for a fast breakfast the next morning. 1 cup of cooked green beans provide 44 calories, 2.5 g protein, 10 g of carbohydrates, 0 g fat, 4 g fiber and 1.25 mg of sodium. Like those numbers? In addition, green beans are rich in carotenoids--lutein, carotene and zeaxanthin.
