Cooking

Got this one from a book of quick fix recipies. I’ve modified it a bit. Seriously good.

I don’t know how much I currently like the photos being put in the post like this. I’ll probably find a different plug in to do it differently next time.

Chicken Thighs with Chunky Tomato Sauce and Red Bulgar/Quinoa

Prep time: 10 mins
cook: 20ish mins

4-6 servings

1 cup of quick fix red bulgar/quinoa (can us other grain – i.e. couscous or rice)

2 tbsp olive oil
2 med zucchini
1 med yellow squash

1 (14.5 oz) fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic, undrained
2 tbsp cold butter [Use some sort of high quality butter/olive oil sub.]
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. pepper

1. Lay out chicken thighs and season with greek seasoning. don’t be stingy and don’t over do it. Set aside.
2. Wash and chop up zucchini and squash. Dice up onion. Set aside.
3. Heat large skillet, med-high heat, with olive oil.
4. Cook chicken in skillet. 4 mins a side. [That would be 8 mins total…]

6. Reduce skillet heat to medium and add veggies and onions to skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 mins.
7. Quickly throw water, chicken broth and bulgar/quinoa together and set on stove. Follow package directions. (Cooking of this should take about 10 mins)
