Creamy chicken with quinoa
This recipe is an ultimate comfort food for me, especially for days like today. Cold and snowy, when I miss spring. Creamy chicken is delicate in flavor, not overwhelming in richness and it goes really well with grains. Isn’t that perfect? Something comforting that can be eaten without gilt and even with benefit to our health. Yes, it is perfect.
