Dig into a bowl full of healthy goodness. This chicken and broccoli dish gets heightened by the addition of one of our favorite superfoods: quinoa.
Grate 1 teaspoon of lemon zest from the peel, and squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon juice from the flesh; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons of Country Crock® Spread in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. Add water to saucepan, scraping the brown bits from bottom of the pan. Stir in quinoa, salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover; reduce heat and cook 10 minutes. Place broccoli florets on top of quinoa. Cover and cook until broccoli and quinoa are tender and water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chicken and let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining Country Crock® Spread in microwave. Whisk in lemon juice and peel, and stir into chicken and quinoa mixture. If desired, season with ground black pepper.
