Easy Creamy Mushroom Chicken Quinoa dinner

kdiamond

I made up my own little recipe with what I had on hand tonight, and I have to say it turned out yummy!! Esp for those who don't care for quinoa, you cannot taste it in this dish, it could have been rice. I made this for myself and my husband, who eats 2 portions, and still had some left. So I guess it is 3-4 servings depending on how much you like.

Ingredients:
1/2 white onion
2 cups mushrooms
1 lb skinless chicken breasts
1 can Campbell’s Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom soup 96% fat free
1/2 can fat free evaporated milk
3 cloves garlic
sprinkle of salt and pepper
sprinkle of onion powder
dash of worchester sauce
1 cup uncooked quinoa

First saute the onions in Pam or a spritz of olive oil spray until tender. Add the mushrooms and saute them as well as the garlic. Then add the can of soup and the evap milk. Bring to a simmer. Add the raw chicken and the spices. Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every now and again. Meanwhile cook the quinoa as directed. In the last 5 minutes of the simmer, add the cooked quinoa and stir it all around, cover again for last 5 minutes.

I'm really new to this whole cooking thing. Do you think this would freeze well? I feel crazy for asking, but that's how I learn!
