Olive oil, divided | 2 | tbsp. |
Quinoa | 2 | cups |
Garlic, minced, divided | 4 | cloves |
Chicken broth | 4 | cups |
Boneless chicken breasts, cubed | 450 | g |

Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pot over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves of garlic and quinoa into the pot. Continue to stir for 2 to 3 minutes until toasted. Then, pour in the chicken broth.
- Cover the quinoa and let it cook under low heat for about 20 minutes until no liquid remains.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Mix chicken, remaining garlic, chicken base and vegetable base together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture into the hot skillet and cook about 7 to 10 minutes until brown.
- Place 3/4 to 1 inch of water in a saucepan with a steamer and bring to a boil. If you don’t have a steamer, you can simply put the broccoli directly into an inch of boiling water.
- Add the broccoli to the steamer and cover; reduce heat to medium and let cook for 5 to 6 minutes. The broccoli is done when you can pierce it with a fork.
- Combine chicken mixture and broccoli with the quinoa until well mixed.
