Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 cup red onion, chopped; 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken; 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 12 ounces crushed tomatoes; 1 cup water; 1 cup quinoa; 2 tablespoons cilantro, or to taste; 6 ounces shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese (such as Kraft(R))

Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup red onion, chopped
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons cilantro, or to taste
6 ounces shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese (such as Kraft(R))

1
Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add chicken, frozen vegetables, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
2
Pour tomatoes and water into the skillet with the chicken; bring to a boil. Stir in quinoa and cilantro. Cook until quinoa is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes; the dish should look thick and saucy. Spread an even layer of Cheddar cheese on top.
3
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4
Place skillet into oven and melt Cheddar cheese under the broiler until bubbly and golden, 2 to 3 minutes; be sure to watch carefully to prevent burning.
