Instructions

Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Add the bell pepper and zucchini, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked quinoa, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and heat through.
Serve the quinoa pilaf with chicken hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
