Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 lb about 1/2 bunch asparagus , woody ends snapped off and discarded, spears cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup fresh peas
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 cup thinly sliced baby spinach leaves
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Rinse quinoa under cold running water and drain. Combine water and quinoa in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook until quinoa is tender and all the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and asparagus. Cook, stirring often, until asparagus is tender and bright green, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and peas and continue cooking for another minute. Stir in chicken and cooked quinoa. Add the spinach and stir until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
