Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (450 g) extra lean ground chicken
  • 1.25 c. raw quinoa
  • 1 c. chicken bone broth (may need a bit more depending on the liquid from tomatoes)
  • 1 c. bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 c. onion, chopped
  • 1/2 c. corn, fresh & cut from cob or frozen
  • 1/2 can fire roasted tomatoes
