Suggest a better description1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a saucepan over med high heat, bring chicken stock to a boil and add diced chicken breasts. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 7-10 mins.
3. While chicken is boiling, get a large 9 x 13 baking dish and layer with about 1 cup cooked quinoa, 2 handfuls of raw spinach, and about two cups raw broccoli florets. Once chicken is cooked, add it to your baking dish and layer again with the rest of your qunioa, spinach, and broccoli. Add the remaining chicken broth and top the entire dish with spices and grated cheese. You might feel like your dish is overflowing but that's ok as it will reduce significantly during cooking.
4. Place your dish on the center rack of the oven and cook uncovered for about 30-45 mins or until the cheese is golden brown.
5. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10mins. Serve on it's own or, if you're like me, you can serve it on a bed of baby spinach with extra steamed broccoli on the side!
