How Do I Make Quinoa with Chicken, Spinach, and Tomatoes?

Here is how you make Quinoa with Chicken, Spinach, and Tomatoes:

Prepare quinoa according to package directions (my quinoa needed more water, so I dumped in the juice from the tomatoes). Meanwhile, cook the chicken and spices (I rarely measure spices - just use what you like...be careful with the cayenne pepper!) in a medium skillet. Defrost the spinach, squeeze out all the water, and add to the skillet with the chicken. Add the can of tomatoes (I drained mine first, but either way would probably be fine). If you decide to add feta (it's good either way), dump everything into a casserole dish (top with the feta) and bake for about 10 minutes (I couldn't wait that long as I was starving).Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ELIZABETH_JANE.
