Ingredients
- Olive Oil, As Needed
- 1 bag (10 Oz. Size) Diced Frozen Butternut Squash
- 1 whole Apple, Cored And Diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 6 leaves Sage, Roughly Chopped, Plus Additional For Garnish
- 1 pound Ground Chicken
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoons Turmeric
- Salt And Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1-½ cup Chicken Stock
- 1 cup Plain Uncooked Quinoa
Preparation
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat. Add frozen butternut squash cubes and let them start to thaw and cook through for a couple of minutes. Add apple, garlic and sage and let them get fragrant for another couple of minutes while you stir. Finally, add ground chicken and let it cook through as you break it up completely. While it cooks, season the whole mixture with cinnamon, turmeric, salt and pepper. Once it is cooked through, pour in apple cider vinegar. Turn heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10–12 minutes to really develop flavor.
Meanwhile, cook quinoa. Bring chicken stock to a boil in a medium saucepan. Pour in quinoa and give it a stir. Cover saucepan with its lid and turn heat to low. Let quinoa cook for about 12 minutes, until it is tender and the little tendrils pop out. Fluff up the quinoa with a fork, then pour it into the pan with the chicken mixture and stir it all together really well. Scoop it into pretty bowls and garnish with extra sage on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
