Apricot-Glazed Chicken with Quinoa Dressing

Comments & Personal Notes

This recipe overcooks the celery and onions but cooking it with quinoa infuses their flavor into the grain. Not sure how to avoid overcooking

I need to cook the quinoa a little longer, it was still fairly crunchy.
Yummy!

This was fairly good. I halved the recipe. Everything did fine except it was a tad over cooked with the same time frame. So next time I will not cook it as long. I like to soak my Quinoa overnight with whey or lemon juice to break down the acids to make it easier to digest. So I did not cook it in chicken broth, but instead used a little bit to moisten it all up once I put the vegetables in it. I cooked the Celery just before I put the garlic in so it didn't get over cooked. I would cook it again :)

The quinoa dressing was amazing. I did need to add additional water (about 1/4 cup) to fully cook the quinoa. I halved the dried apricots.The celery was slightly overcooked, so next time I'll add it about half way through the onion caramelizing.

We weren't too crazy about this - I think I will try using rice instead of quinoa next time.

Our family didn't like it all. Won't make it again.

chicken overcooked. lessen the time. skip the quinoa. too much apricot flavor all the way around. won't do it again.
