A simple combination of organic chicken stock, lime juice and lime zest work together to give fresh, citrusy flavor to chicken, corn and quinoa. It's a one skillet dish that elevates chicken to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
  • 1/2 cup uncooked red quinoa or regular (white) quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 3/4 cups Swanson® Organic Chicken Stock
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Season the chicken as desired.  Heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat.  Add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes or until well browned on both sides.  Remove the chicken from the skillet.

  • Step 2

    Heat the remaining oil in the skillet.  Add the onion, corn and quinoa and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is tender-crisp, stirring often.

  • Step 3

    Add the stock and heat to a boil, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.  Cook for 5 minutes or until the stock mixture is slightly reduced.  Stir in the lime juice and lime zest.  Cook for 5 minutes or until the quinoa is tender.

  • Step 4

    Return the chicken to the skillet.  Cook for 3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked though.  Sprinkle with the cilantro.
