Description
Delicious and nutritious! Found this on pinterest, edited for my preferences. Quinoa makes it hearty and filling. The chicken was soooo tender, it just fell apart! I never used kale before but couldn't really taste it in this- i don't like cooked spinach in soup but i did like the kale! Could be topped with shredded parmesan cheese.
Also, i like to freeze some of the leftovers in serving size ziploc bags.
