Made today, first time, after searching for a chicken & quinoa dish. I didn't think there were enough directions provided for the quinoa. So, I followed directions on the package, which meant rinsing raw quinoa & covering it while simmering. I added about 1/2 c. leftover canned black beans I had. I also use a very low sodium broth so have to add fresh ground pink Himalayan salt back in. I didn't think there was enough broth so added about another cup with the chicken. Also used dried parsley, not fresh. This was a tasty recipe & a great alternative to chicken & rice soup.

Very tasty and very easy to make. I sometimes add a can of chickpeas or white kidney beans to it.
