Vegan ChickN with Quinoa

Vegan Chick’n with Quinoa

Ingredients (Minimal, 8 items)
• 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
• 1 ½ cups vegetable broth or water
• 1 cup vegan chick’n pieces (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• ½ cup mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, peas, or corn)

Instructions

1. Cook the quinoa:
   In a pot, combine quinoa with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until fluffy. Set aside.

2. Sauté the base:
   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until fragrant and translucent (about 2 minutes).

3. Add the vegan chick’n:
   Stir in vegan chick’n pieces and soy sauce. Cook for 3–5 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly and absorb the flavor.

4. Mix in veggies:
   Add your mixed vegetables and cook for another 3–4 minutes until tender.

5. Combine with quinoa:
   Add cooked quinoa to the pan and toss everything together. Adjust seasoning with salt or a splash more soy sauce if desired.

6. Serve and enjoy:
   Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of lemon juice for a light, protein-packed vegan meal.
