BLACKENED CHICKEN WITH AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Stir quinoa into the broth and bring again to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and broth has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Stir scallions and 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice into the quinoa.
