This chicken fried quinoa recipe boasts whole proteins and a rainbow of vegetables soaked in a sweet maple soy sauce.

 

I started making this recipe several years ago, and then perfected it when I found the Maple Soy Sauce recipe in the cookbook “From Freezer to Table”.

It was so much better than what I was using.

This recipe makes enough for our family of 5 and then I typically still have several quarts to freeze.

You can swap the chicken out for pork (great way to use up leftovers) or shrimp.

Vegan butter can be used for those who are dairy free.

We buy our organic quinoa from Costco in bulk, and anytime we make this recipe we always make a ton of it because it is great for freezing in quart containers.

Enjoy a family meal and freeze the leftovers to give away or save for later!

Bon appetit!
