Hallie's Easy Chicken with Spinach & Mushrooms

So I made this one earlier this week...I had chicken, tomatoes, baby spinach, and baby portabella mushrooms. Good veggies and protein...what to do with them to make a yummy quick dinner?

I looked around the kitchen and pulled out a few basic items. I always keep organic chicken broth, spices, and quinoa on hand!!! If you don't stock up! (Have you seen what they carry at Costco these days?)

So here is what I did (and what you can do SO easily, too!)...

Ingredients:

• 2 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into strips 
• 1 cup sliced baby portabella mushrooms
• 1 cup organic chicken broth 
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 2 vine ripe tomatoes cut up (I take out the seeds, too)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (you can always use the real thing!)
• 1/4 tsp onion powder (you can always use the real thing!)
• sea salt and ground black pepper to taste   
• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water

Directions:

• Season chicken with onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, ground pepper
• Cook quinoa (1 cup quinoa, 2 cups water) in medium pot (bring to boil then simmer for ~15 minutes while you make the rest of dinner - set timer so you don't overcook...stir occasionally)
• Heat up mushrooms and organic chicken broth in a skillet, let the mushrooms cook down for about 5-7 minutes
• Once mushrooms are almost cooked through, add tomatoes and cook for another minute
• Add chicken to the skillet and move around to make sure it cooks through
• Add the spinach and cook another few minutes (~2 minutes) until everything is cooked through
• Serve hot over freshly cooked quinoa! Enjoy!
