Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, separated
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Next cook the quinoa according to the package instructions.
  3. While the quinoa is cooking steam the broccoli and boil the chicken.  For the broccoli, steam for about 10 minutes, until bright in color and soft.
  4. To boil the chicken, first bring a pot of water to a boil.  Place the chicken breasts in the pot and boil for 13-15 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.  Then remove the chicken from the pot and shred.  This can be done easily with two forks.
  5. In a large bowl combine the cooked quinoa, steamed broccoli, and shredded chicken.  Add in the marinara sauce, parmesan cheese (1/4 cup), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Combine evenly.
  6. Transfer to a greased baking dish.  Spread out and top with the remaining parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Let cool, serve with some fresh basil, and enjoy!
