Here is how you make Asian peanut butter chicken quinoa salad:

1. Cook quinoa with broth and water.2. Cook chicken in the olive oil and vinaigrette (if you don't have vinaigrette, don't fear, it isn't necessary, just adds a little taste. Infused olive oil would be tasty swap if it is on hand as well!). Drain often3. While chicken is cooking, chop up some of the vegetables4. When chicken is pretty much all cooked through, add your favorite crunchy peanut butter (HAS to be crunchy and delicious and natural; my favorite is the Natural Meijer crunchy peanut butter brand; my mom and dad prefer the Organic Meijer brand, which has added sugar and oils that I just don't really need)5. let fully cooked chicken simmer on low to keep heat and cook off the peanut oil. The peanut butter creates a bit of a breading, it's thicker and it is just really awesome tasting :)6. Chop up the rest of the veggies and cook the fresh/frozen ones you have on hand (TIP:: DO NOT cook the carrots (saute bell pepper, celery (fresh broccoli and green beans, steam to desired crispiness or softness7. drain watery peanut stuff that you wouldn't want in quinoa8. in a large container, mix quinoa, chicken, and veggies together.9. add additional peanut butter to taste!10. LAST, add sesame seeds and almonds AND if you have it, CHIA seeds (personal fav!) and shovel that tastiness on in!Serving Size: makes A LOT, lots of left overs, about 10-14Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ELLIESCHWETZ.
