Ingredients: 2 cups precooked chicken, shredded; 1 cup quinoa, rinsed; 2 cups chicken broth; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, diced; 1 zucchini, sliced; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1 teaspoon cumin; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the quinoa and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and fluffy.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded precooked chicken and sauté until heated through.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini to the skillet with the chicken. Cook until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.
Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
Season the mixture with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Allow the dish to simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are heated through and the flavors have melded together.
Serve the Healthy With Precooked Chicken hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
