This was a quick dish that we put together for dinner. We split the chicken breasts in half lenghtwise to make them thinner and ensure that they would cook faster.
The quinoa we made in our new multi-cooker! We had a Tim3 machine one, but it got recalled, and even though we submitted everything for the recall back in November, we haven't received a new one yet. So, we went to Costco and got an Aroma multicooker (which has a sushi rice button! Very excited to use that in the near future).
We also made a simple green salad with cubed cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh dill and parsley all with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar, salt and pepper. This resulted in a refreshing green salad which went well with the rest of dinner.
