Spicy Honey Chicken & Quinoa Salad with Peaches
I made this meal the other day and it was really good! I found the recipes in the September issue of Cooking Light. I made Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs, Quinoa Salad with Peaches, and fresh steamed green beans. (Sorry for the poor quality pictures.)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Cooking spray
6 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss to coat. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil chicken 5 minutes on each side.
3. Combine honey and vinegar in a small bowl, stirring well. Remove chicken from oven; brush 1/4 cup honey mixture on chicken. Broil 1 minute. Remove chicken from oven and turn over. Brush chicken with remaining honey mixture. Broil 1 additional minute or until chicken is done.

What is so good about Quinoa?
We call quinoa (KEEN-WA) a grain but is actually a seed that has a mild, slightly nutty flavor. It is cooked similar to rice. It is light and fluffy like couscous or rice. Since it is mild, it can be an alternative to rice in recipes. Nutritionally, it is an excellent choice to incorporate into your meals. It's also gluten-free.
In 1/4 cup dry uncooked quinoa we have:
7 grams protein
10% iron
2% calcium
3 grams fiber
170 calories
It also has
B vitamins
Vitamin E
Magnesium
My bag says 1 cup dry will yield 4 cups cooked.
It really is sooo good for you. You ought to give it a try!
