Chicken Fricassee Over Quinoa

Yum

Chicken Fricassee over Quinoa is a wonderful French stew loaded with fresh vegetables, onions and leeks (Make sure to clean them thoroughly–click here to learn how to clean and cut leeks) with a provençal tomato twist. I love to serve it over my Simply Quinoa-YUM!

Tip: Substitute 1tsp dried herbes de Provence instead of fresh if you like.
Author: Catherine Katz
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 6 free-range chicken thighs (boned, skinless)
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 leeks, thoroughly cleaned and chopped*
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, rinsed, unpeeled and cut in strips
  • 1 medium yellow squash, rinsed, unpeeled and cut in strips
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, rinsed and cut in strips
  • 1 cup fat free chicken broth
  • 1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes (with no added sugar)
  • Juice and zest of 1 small orange (about ⅓ cup)
  • 1 Tbsp herbes de Provence (fresh)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
  1. Rinse and pat dry chicken thighs and lightly salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large heavy bottom pan or Dutch oven and quickly brown the chicken thighs on both sides for 3-4 minutes each so that the outside is a little golden but the chicken is still uncooked. Set aside on a plate for later.
  3. Place remaining olive oil in the same pan and sautee the chopped onions, leeks, garlic and carrots for about 5 minutes until soft.
  4. Add the zucchini, squash and bell pepper, stirring them gently and continue to cook for a few minutes.
  5. Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, orange juice and zest, herbes de provence, salt, and pepper and bring to a quick boil.
  6. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the chicken thighs back in, basting the sauce over them to cover them.
  7. Simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes and serve over quinoa.
