Chicken Breast, no skin, 6 ounces
Allspice, 1 tbsp
Quinoa (dry), 0.5 cup

Lime Juice, 2 tbsp

Here is how you make Carribean Quinoa:

Rinse the quinoa well. Mix it with 1 cup of water in a pan, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15-20 minutes until it splits. I like to add some extra allspice and lime in while its cooking, but that is up to you.*While the quinoa is cooking, spray the bottom of a pan with nonstick spray and start cooking the chicken on medium heat. Brown both sides, but don't cook completely. Sprinkle the allspice on top of the browned chicken. Add in the frozen peppers, the lime juice, and a few tablespoons of water to prevent it from sticking. Cook until chicken is done, about 10 minutes.*Place half the cooked quinoa in a bowl, top with half the chicken and half the peppers. Eat!*Variations:*add garlic and onion when cooking the chicken*add fresh pineapple &/or some toasted coconut*change the vegetables to your liking**Creator note: Do NOT use couscous! I read a comment that one person did. The nutty flavor & the texture of the quinoa is what mixes well with the lime & allspice.Number of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WATERBABY*3.
