GF Quinoa chicken vegetable soup

I was just messing around one cold Saturday and decided I would try my take on a chicken noodle soup. Some of the noodles I can eat, others I can't. I really miss a good soup on these cold days. I love hearty soups too.

So winged it. Grabbed 2 bags of frozen vegetables- the soup medley. Which have onions, celery, etc. Grabbed 2 boxes of the low sodium chicken broth. I threw in a cup of quinoa. Cook on high/ med heat to get them to start cooking. I also threw in some fresh ground pepper.

At the very end, I added fresh avocado to the mix, all nicely cut up. I had also cooked a chicken in the oven so I threw the chicken in there. OMG it was delicious!

The quinoa definitely plumped up and at the end it was almost like a stew. I did't care b/c it was so filling and tasty! Boyfriend also ate it up! We made it again (b/c again it is just so cold) and it was gone pretty fast. Super easy as it only took about 35 minutes total cook time! Yeah! And made a lot!! Not bad for making it up!

Cheers,
Lauren

Goat cheese & spinach stuffed chicken

I have not made these in a while and I thought this could be a nice change to dinner. First I grabbed chicken breast-cut off the fat and thinned them out. I placed them onto a baking sheet that I sprayed with cooking spray

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Now finely cut up the spinach- I also removed the stems. Place them onto the middle of the chicken. Next add goat cheese.

Time to roll them up! Secure with toothpicks. You will need a few depending on the thickness of the chicken.

Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes. This is vary depending on the thickness of the chicken. Done! OMG these are super yummy

Super easy to make and really great to eat. The goat cheese will keep the inside of the meat moist.

xoxoxo,
