Ingredients

1 1/3 cups plus 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth divided
2/3 cup quinoa rinsed
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium sweet potato diced
1 medium onion chopped
1 celery rib chopped
1 cup frozen peas
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot minced
3 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken cooked and shredded

Directions

In a medium saucepan, add 1 1/3 cups of the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
Add the quinoa to the chicken broth.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the canola oil.
Add the sweet potatoes, the onion, and the celery to the heated canola oil and sauté until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the frozen peas, the garlic, the gingerroot, the curry powder, and the salt to the sweet potato mixture and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken and the remaining chicken broth to the sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine, and cooking until heated through.
Add the cooked quinoa to the sweet potato mixture, stirring to combine, and cook just until heated through, about 1 minute.
Plate and serve.
