In reply to Kelly. I'm sorry you didn't like it. It's not as flavorful as most of my recipes since it was made for a challenge where I had to use limited ingredients, but it's still one of my favorites. I know a lot of other people love it too.

Sorry to say but this was one of the worst recipes I’ve ever tried. Because you leave the chicken in the entire time, it gets way overcooked. There is no seasoning so the flavor profile is entirely off. Coming from someone who loves spices food, quinoa and chicken, and who has made countless other similar style recipes that turned out amazing, this was a huge disappointment. I ate it but had to make something else for the rest of my family. Please don’t waste your time with this one. Sorry 🙁

In reply to Glenna. Using orzo is a great idea. I'm so glad you liked it!

This turned out so great. I used ORZO ( same amount as Quinoa ) instead because I didn’t have any Quinoa and cut chicken down to 3/4 pound. Delicious. Cooked according to time stated in recipe and it was perfect. Next time I might play around with some added seasoning. The servings are generous so wished I had invited some guests for dinner. A perfect healthy meal with a side salad. Very easy.

Love this recipe I added 1 small can mild diced green chilies, added lots of flavor and no added heat.

Just made this. EXCELLENT. Just needed to cook quinoa longer for some crazy reason. Maybe, like you say, it was the pan I was using. Next time, I’m going to use a different pan — maybe this one too deep and wok like. In any case, thanks much for this. We love it.

In reply to Jeadene Solberg. Oooh, that sounds like a tasty idea! I'd probably add about 4 cups of sauce. You'll need at least 3 cups to act as the "cooking liquid" for the quinoa, plus a little extra to make it saucy.

Hello:
I just came across this recipe and wanted your opinion. I want to try a dish similar to this but want to add mushrooms and maybe a garlic sauce or mushroom sauce instead of tomatoes? What are your thoughts and how much should I add? My family is tired of the tomato items I am making and just trying to do something different? Maybe add onions too?
