Servings: Makes 2 generous servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp. salt , plus more to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Directions
    In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add quinoa and cook until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes.

    Stir in chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover and cook 15 minutes, or until broth is absorbed and quinoa is tender.
