Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the onions and peppers for a few mins until softened. Stir in the chipotle paste for a minute, followed by the tomatoes. Add up to a tomato can-full of water to cover the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breasts and gently simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with the stock cubes. Add the quinoa and cook for 15 mins until tender, adding the beans for the final min. Drain well and stir in the coriander and lime juice, then check for seasoning before covering to keep warm.
- Lift the chicken out onto a board and shred each breast using two forks. Stir back into the tomato sauce with the sugar and season. Serve with the quinoa, scattering the stew with some coriander leaves just before dishing up and eating with a dollop of yogurt on the side.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350. Grease an 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Cook quinoa according to package directions. Fluff and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt once it's finished cooking.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
- Add chopped chicken and the black beans, tomatoes, corn and spices. Stir until well combined and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked quinoa and 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir well to mix. (If your pan isn't big enough, you can do this in a large bowl.)
- Add the quinoa chicken mixture to the greased casserole dish. Top with remaining 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese.
- Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to let it set up completely.
- Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375. Mix the quinoa, black beans, salsa, chicken broth, salt, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese in a large bowl. Transfer to a well-greased casserole dish (something close to 9×13). Bake for 30 minutes.
- While the quinoa is baking, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the jalapeño, onion, and peppers. Sauté until golden brown and tender-crisp, like you would for fajitas. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Toss the raw chicken with the taco seasoning. When the quinoa is done with the first 30 minutes of baking, stir it up really well and add the raw chicken. Stir the chicken into the mixture to get the chicken mostly covered by the mixture, and return to the oven for another 30 minutes of baking. If you notice there are a few uncooked quinoa pieces on top, just give it a stir and bake it a little longer (a few readers also commented that it helped them to add a little extra broth at this point). It's usually fully cooked on the bottom but those top pieces sometimes need a little extra love.
- When the quinoa is done, top with the peppers and remaining cheese - bake another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted to your liking.
