Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Quinoa


This is one of my all-time favorite recipes. It's a heavier meal best suited for fall but I'm quick to sneak it into a summer menu when possible. It's also made almost solely in the crockpot. *Distant Applause*

Here goes...

4-6 frozen chicken tenders
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of chicken
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 cups broccoli
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste

Put everything except the sour cream and broccoli into a crockpot and cook on  low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. Shred the chicken. On the stovetop bring the broccoli to a boil and cook until fork tender. Bring 1 cup washed quinoa and 2 cups of water to a boil and then reduce the heat and cover, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates. Stir in broccoli, quinoa and sour cream and let the flavors cook together for about 30 more minutes. 

That's it. You're all done. Serve with dinner rolls or sides of your choice and enjoy!
