Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 3/4 cup quinoa uncooked
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup yellow onion diced small
- 1/2 cup celery diced small
- 1 green apple diced small
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup peas frozen is best
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 2 cups boneless and skinless chicken breasts shredded
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth and curry to a boil on medium heat. Once boiling, add the quinoa. Cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 12 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, and let sit, (keeping covered) for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, celery, and apple. Cook just until onions begin to turn translucent - about 5 minutes. Add the salt, peas, raisin, and chicken. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Fluff the quinoa with a fork and add to the chicken mixture. Combine well and remove from heat. Serve the chicken salad hot or cold.
