This Cheesy quinoa broccoli bake recipe will rock your taste buds!

Who loves baking with quinoa? I do! That little seed is an amazing source of protein and great tasting too! I’ve found it can be used instead of pasta in some cases. Like my cheesy quinoa broccoli bake recipe for instance.

This Cheesy quinoa broccoli bake recipe will rock your taste buds!

This is a dish that can easily be a Meatless Monday dish. I put chicken in it because hubby thinks something is missing without the meat, but it honestly tastes great either way!

Cheesy Quinoa Broccoli Bake Recipe:

  • 1 1/2 cup of Quinoa
  • 1 Large Chicken Breast
  • 2 Tbs Coconut oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 cups Broccoli
  • 1/2 a Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 tsp of the Real Salt Seasoning Salt (or any brand that lists all ingredients to avoid msg)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • Red Pepper flakes

Rinse quinoa and cook according to package directions.

Thinly slice and cut chicken into small pieces, fry in coconut oil until done. Chop up broccoli, onion, pepper, and mince garlic. Once chicken is fried, toss the veggies into with the meat and coconut oil and lightly saute.  (If fixing a meatless Monday dish, skip the chicken step and just saute the veggies)
