Very good meal! I will use chicken broth instead of water next time for a little more depth of flavor.

I made this for the family and they loved it. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the quinoa was a nice addition. I added a bit extra quinoa and chicken and should have had a larger pan, so it took a bit longer to cook. But the end result was delicious!
