Ingredients

  • 6 chicken drumsticks skin removed, optional breast fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion small, diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes canned, or recipe for Homemade Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons capers drained
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • kosher or sea salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper freshly ground
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth fat free, low sodium
  • 1 cup quinoa dry, pre-rinse

Instructions

  • In a large non-stick skillet, add oil, turn to medium-high heat, add chicken and brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. Add onion to skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 additional minute.
  • Return chicken to skillet and add the remaining ingredients. Cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and quinoa is tender and absorbed most of the liquid, about 15 minutes.
