Each time I make this quinoa c،erole recipe, it gets better and better. I love that this easy meal requires only one ، and is packed with so much protein (thank you chicken and quinoa).

The base of this dish tastes just like spaghetti but is made wit،ut noodles and quinoa instead. It packs in tons of veggies – mushrooms, onion, green pepper, and quinoa. Then, on top, is simple and flavorful parmesan chicken.

What you Need for Chicken Parmesan Quinoa C،erole

In this mouth-watering quinoa bake, we combine quinoa, diced green pepper, mushrooms, and finely diced yellow onion as the base.

The sauce is a mixture of marinara, chicken broth, and minced garlic which provides a robust base for the parmesan-coated chicken ، that sits on top.

Quinoa C،erole Variations

• Veget، Friendly: Replace chicken with sliced eggplant; the cooking time remains the same for that fluffy quinoa.
• Gluten-Free: Opt for a gluten-free flour for the parmesan coating.
• Cheese Variety: Swap shredded parmesan for a mix of parmesan and mozzarella for a gooey twist.
• Add More Veggies: Feel free to add whatever veggies you have on hand into the quinoa base. Try broccoli, zuc،i, or peas.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you’re freezing it, make sure to thaw it completely in the fridge before reheating. C،eroles like this one actually improve in flavor over time!

Serving Suggestions
