  • In saucepan, heat half of the oil over medium heat; cook garlic and paprika, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in quinoa and add water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until no liquid remains and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; saute chicken, cumin, ground coriander, salt, pepper and cayenne until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add green onions, tomatoes, red pepper, black beans and corn; cook over medium heat, stirring, until red pepper is tender-crisp and chicken is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to large bowl. Add quinoa, cilantro and lime juice; toss to combine.

  1. Fabulous! This made a fantastic lunch and I froze the rest in portions to take to work. I wasn't sure if the amount of spices would be too much, but it was spot on. Made for Went to the Market tag game. Thanks Deantini! :)
     
  2. Wasn't sure about this but I'm so happy I made it!!! The whole family loved it!
     
  3. This was a very unique salad for us. I had never had Quinoa before but I think I like it. Loved the combination of spices although I cut back on the Cilantro, personal preference. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. Great salad - quinoa is one of my new favs. Not only is it delicious -- it is extremely healthy. Loved all the added ingredients -- it makes a very filling lunch or dinner entree. Made for PRMR, October, 2013.
     
  5. We agreed with another reviewer, we thought the spices would be too strong. Turned out just right. Will definitely be making this one again.
