Balsamic Broccoli and Chicken Dijon with Quinoa

Here's my dinner for tonight: Balsamic Broccoli and Chicken Dijon with Quinoa. You'll be seeing lots of recipes with quinoa in the next few days since I cooked a whole box full earlier today. This meal may not be a looker, but I assure you that it tastes amazing! The balsamic vinegar and dijon mustard really compliment each other well.

First, you'll start by cooking a large chicken breast. I just seasoned mine with a bit of salt and pepper. Next, you'll chop up two cups of broccoli, slice up one cup of mini bella mushrooms, one cup of red onions and mince two garlic cloves. Add all veggies to a heated skillet with two teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for around 5-8 minutes at medium heat, then add in two tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Let simmer. 

Once chicken is ready, slice it up and at it to your skillet. Next, add half a cup of chicken broth and one tablespoon of light soya sauce to the mix. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then add two tablespoons of dijon mustard. Mix well and let simmer for another 5 minutes or until liquid becomes thicker. Serve with half a cup of cooked quinoa.
