  • Cook chicken in 2 Tbsp. dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 4 to 5 min. or until evenly browned, stirring frequently. Spoon into bowl; cover to keep warm.
  • Heat remaining dressing in same skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms and peppers; cook 4 min., stirring occasionally and adding garlic for the last minute. Add quinoa, broth and water; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 20 min. or until quinoa is tender.
  • Stir in chicken, parsley and lemon juice; cook and stir 2 min. or until chicken mixture is heated through. Remove from heat; cover. Let stand 5 min.; top with cheese.

Special Extra

When serving adults, substitute 1/2 cup dry white wine for the water, or for 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, if desired.

Food Facts

Did you know quinoa is a pseodocereal...more like a seed than a grain? It is higher in protein than most grains, but not as high as beans and legumes.
