BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad
Quinoa is a superfood my family likes to always keep on hand. My husband and I both grew up on white rice so quinoa is a fairly new food to us. I love to cook it with chicken broth to pump up the flavor. It is the perfect ingredient to lighten up a family favorite - BBQ chicken. The recipe has been floating around in my head for a few weeks. I am so glad it came out as well in real life as I thought it would. It was even a hit with my husband and 2 year old! Let's get started, shall we?
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa, cooked
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked corn (if you want to kick up the flavor grill your corn)
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup cheese, shredded (cheddar, colby jack, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, to garnish
Directions:
- Add the quinoa, beans, corn, tomato, and red onion into a serving dish
- In a medium bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and balsamic vinegar till mixed well
- Add the chicken to the sauce mixture and toss
- Place chicken on top of the quinoa salad
- Top with sliced avocado, cheese, and cilantro
How easy is that? I love to use rotisserie or left over chicken to cut back on time. My family likes to make a little extra of the BBQ sauce and vinegar mixture to keep on the side. Hope you guys enjoy!
Big hugs and kisses to the gorgeous Ashlee!

Garde wants Lyon to finish well
ReplyDeleteAgen Bola indo11.com reported, Lyon manager Remi Garde has admitted his side have not been at their best this year, but is hopeful they can finish the season strongly.
The former champions have struggled for consistency this term but currently find themselvesin third position in Ligue 1, battling with Saint Etienne for the final UEFA place.
Two points is all that separates Lyon in third from their fierce rivals in fourth and Garde admits that the season has not gone as he had planned, but he is focused on maintaining their top-three place by the end of the campaign.
“It is not a secret. Lyon 2013 is not Lyon 2012,” he said. “But we are still working
on our objectives. We want to be on the podium at the end of the season.
“We have to continue in this way and get good result in Nancy.” as reported by Indo Eleven.
Lyon know that victory over 16th placed Nancy on Sunday will not only see them maintain their lead over the sides below but also keep them in touch with second-placed Marseille and Garde is determined to bounce back from last week’s draw with Saint Etienne.
“We don’t have an objective of points,” he continued. “We are concentrating on each game.
This game against Nancy is very important.

Agen Bola : Berapa Harga Mourinho?
ReplyDeleteIndo Eleven - Akan membutuhkan dana sebesar 12 juta poundsterling andai Roman Abramovich sepakat mengembalikan Jose Mourinho ke Chelsea. Uang itu bukan untuk gaji The Special One, melainkan biaya kompensasi yang harus dibayarkan The Blues untuk menebus sisa kontrak Mou yang sejatinya masih tersisa 4 tahun.
Pelatih cakap asal Portugal itu musim panas kemarin baru saja meneken kontrak anyar yang bakal mengikat hingga tahun 2016, dan itu perlu ditebus jika Roman menginginkannya kembali ke Stamford Bridge. Kini sekarang tinggal menunggu Roman, relakah ia keluar uang sebanyak itu untuk menunjuk kembali pria yang dulu pernah ia pecat dari bench The Blues?
Mourinho sendiri sudah memberikan sinyal yang sangat jelas, "Saya ingin kembali ke tempat di mana saya dicintai. Inggris mencintai saya, khususnya satu klub," ucapnya kemarin usai Real Madrid gugur dari Liga Champions.
