I LOVE this dish. It is so versatile, and incredibly simple to prepare. Instead of peas, we like to substitute spring veggies or mixed veggies. You can also use different flavors of spaghetti sauce to change it up a bit. Serve with a spring mix salad and yeast rolls and you have a great, filling dinner that even some of the pickiest kids will eat!

Delicious and easy. If you follow this recipe exactly, it comes out perfectly. Really simple meal to make after work. I added 2 cloves minced garlic for extra taste. I recommend this one!

I am not a big fan of quinoa, I've tried to cook it a few different ways.. this was the best I have done. I cut up bnls skls chicken breast and let it sit in some evoo, garlic, minced onion, paparika and a little black pepper for about 30 min. Used 1c broth, per other reviewer, and Prego "Chunky Garden- tomato, onion and garlic". Had to cook longer for my quinoa to be done.. but good, easy dish. Sprinkled grated parm on top.

Great recipe. Things I like about it: simple, quick, healthy. I used about 1/2 lb chicken as we are not big meat eaters, and it was plenty. Instead of jar of pasta sauce (which I don't like) I used one can Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes and one 8oz can tomato sauce and it was perfect. If you like Quinoa, try the Black Beans and Quinoa recipe on this site ... excellent.

Thanks for a great recipe! It was something different and a great way to use quinoa. I actually made my italian sauce from scratch to decrease the sodium in the dish. I also seasoned my chicken tenders with garlic Mrs. Dash to give more flavor. It is a great weeknight dish that is easy to prepare and filling.

I really enjoyed this! I only put in one cup of chicken broth, though, since I like a thicker sauce.

This recipe was a very nice quick and easy throw together kind of meal. I wasn't overly thrilled with it and wish I would have added some garlic. My 3 young children however ate it, and two of them are picky! It's healthy,easy, and budget friendly. I'll be keeping this one for future use.

I prepared this with trader joe's whole grain couscous bc i ran out of quinoa. The peas were delightful and the dish was much more flavorful than i expected given the simple ingredients. will make again

Alright. Was first time cooking quinoa and I think it went well. Didn't have chicken broth, so subbed beef broth. Omitted peas (family doesn't like them) and used some basic spaghetti sauce from the cabinet. Didn't take long at all to cook. Accidently cooked my chicken all the way through in the first step, but did allow a little time for the chicken to simmer with the quinoa.
