Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1.5 cup mushrooms, diced
  • ½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cups Marinara Sauce
  • (any kind of spaghetti sauce will work!)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons flour (I used white whole wheat, but white or gluten-free will work, too!)
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 large chicken breasts (or 6 medium chicken breasts)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF and spray a casserole dish with coconut oil cooking spray.
  • Prep veggies by dicing a whole green pepper and 1.5 cups of mushrooms. Finely dice ½ a yellow onion (~1/2 cup).
  • Place 1 cup of uncooked quinoa on the bottom of your casserole dish and then layer on veggies.
  • Add 3 cups of marinara sauce, 1 cup of chicken broth, and a tablespoon of minced garlic to the casserole dish and mix everything together. Set aside.
  • In a medium-size bowl, mix together flour, shredded parmesan, and garlic powder. Then, crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk.
  • Prep chicken breast by dipping into the egg and then into the parmesan mixture making sure everything is generously coated. Place chicken breast on top of quinoa mixture
  • Finally, sprinkle on the leftover parmesan mixture and even more cheese if you desire. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Bake at 375º, uncovered for 20 minutes. Then, cover with tin foil and bake for an additional 40 minutes or until the quinoa is fully cooked.
