Instructions
Cook chicken, I like to put a raw chicken breast in a slow cooker with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons lime juice for about 2 hrs or until cooked through. Then I shred the chicken with a fork and toss in its juices.
Rinse the raw quinoa under running water vigorously for 60 seconds. This helps break down the other shell of the quinoa and makes it easier to digest. Then add quinoa to a pot with chicken broth, turmeric, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let all liquid absorb. About 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice green onions, chop spinach and juice orange.
Toss the shredded chicken with about a cup and half of quinoa, spinach and orange juice together in a skillet or pot over low heat until the spinach is just starting to wilt. Toss in green onions, cilantro and remaining salt to taste.
