CHICKEN QUINOA CASSEROLE
I tried to figure out a casserole that I haven't seen before. Super good, super easy, and just the right amount of 'good-for-you' to cover up the guilt!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Combine vegetable broth, garlic, salt, and pepper in a pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add spinach, carrots, and red peppers and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes.
- Mix chicken, cooked quinoa, cooked vegetables, Alfredo sauce, and basil together in a bowl. Pour into the prepared casserole dish, patting it down with a spoon.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and mix in bread crumbs until evenly coated. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Evenly distribute cheese crumbs over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and lightly browned on top, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- First, preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Next place 1.5 cups uncooked quinoa on the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Then, finely dice onion and cut chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Transfer into casserole dish.
- Season chicken with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Next, mix together around 3 cups of tomato soup with 1 cup of water. If you buy tomato soup in a carton, you will get anywhere from 3-4 cups of tomato soup, so you can use all of the soup, but substitute the rest with water.
- Pour soup mixture on top of chicken and quinoa and use a spoon to mix, making sure that the chicken and quinoa are submerged.
- Cover casserole dish with tin foil and bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes.
- While the casserole is baking, slice 5-6 medium tomatoes.
- Once the 30 minutes is up, remove the casserole from the oven and stir. Add sliced tomatoes and bake for an additional 20 minutes, uncovered.
- Finally, remove casserole one more time, add mozzarella cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove casserole dish from oven and let sit for 10 additional minutes to thicken.
- Serve with fresh basil.

CHICKEN QUINOA CASSEROLE
After being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I had to cut out most rice and cut way back on pasta; which I used to use as the basis for one dish meals. I rediscovered Quinoa- which does not spike my blood sugar- and have been using it to make some new dishes. I had leftover baked chicken and wanted to throw together a fast dinner one night when I got home from work and was really tired. The Quinoa cooks fast and everything else was what I had on hand. I had baked the chicken with our favorite spices so this didn't need too much else, but I did toss in a little extra garlic powder ( is there too much garlic? LOL) I just mixed it all together and served it. A green salad makes it a really complete meal. My husband and I both enjoyed it.

Steps:
- Cook the Quinoa according to the package directions.
- Cut up the cooked chicken into small chunks.
- Open and drain a small can of mushrooms ( or use fresh if you have!).
- Open and drain the can of black beans ( I rinse them in cold water briefly).
- If you need or want to, add whatever spices you like: garlic, paprika, pepper etc.
- If it looks a little dry- a drizzle of olive oil will help.
- Mix it all together in a casserole dish and serve. If some ingredients are cold, you may want to heat the whole thing up either in a low oven or in a saucepan on the stove before serving. I also sometimes zap it all in the microwave to heat everything through.
