Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
  • ½ bunch kale, chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper, chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup sliced black olives
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add quinoa; cook and stir until quinoa is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour in chicken broth slowly. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until most of the chicken broth is absorbed, about 12 minutes.

Step 2
Layer broccoli, kale, and red bell pepper over quinoa in the skillet. Cover and cook until quinoa is tender, about 8 minutes more. Fluff quinoa with a fork. Sprinkle cilantro and olives on top. Season with salt and black pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Cook’s Notes:

Substitute unrefined coconut oil for the extra-virgin olive oil if desired.
