Chicken, Beans, and Kale Stew

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 8- ounce can Goya tomato sauce
  • 1 15- ounce can Goya black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 15- ounce can Goya chick peas drained and rinsed
  • 1 26- ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 bundle of kale rinsed, stripped from the stems, and chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the quinoa in a medium pot with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15-20 minutes at a low simmer, until the quinoa is fluffy and tender.
  • While the quinoa cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pot or caldero until it shimmers. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes, until they start to brown. Add the garlic and stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken and cook until it begins to brown on the edges. Once the chicken develops a little color, add the tomato sauce, beans, and diced tomatoes and stir to combine.
  • Add the kale to the pot and stir it into the mix. Simmer the stew for 25-30 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Serve the stew in bowls over healthy scoops of quinoa.
