This is a great dish which can be made in bulk...
2lbs chicken breast pounded to uniform thickness. You can also use boneless, skinless thighs or chicken strips...or a white fish for that matter.
In a skillet heat a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the breasts and cook just until browned and remove. Add sliced zucchini to the pan and saute until slightly browned and add back in the chicken. Add in one drained can of garbanzo beans and a can of diced tomatoes and a cup of chicken or beef stock (its best to use homemeade with all the fat skimmed off) along with a teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of cayanne. Reduce heat and let simmer.
In a pot add 2 parts water to one part quinoa and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
In a seperate pan saute onions, garlic, carrots and celery until translucent.
Once the quinoa is done add in the veggies and mix. Serve this as a side to the chicken and let the juice mix with the quinoa.
Absolutely delicious. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is. As with all things planning and prep are half the battle, and only 3 pans to clean.
