Chicken Marengo and Quinoa

My blogger friend, Sam, at My Carolina Kitchen, reminded me that I had not made Chicken Marengo in many years.

I followed her recipe
and this evening we had a lovely Chicken Marengo dish. We both enjoyed it very much.

I decided to serve it with Quinoa, pronounced Keen-wah. We like Quinoa a lot. It is a perfect protein and a wonderful substitute for rice or couscous. It is high in iron, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and fiber.

Quinoa can be used in salads and pilafs and as a simple side. It is also gluten-free and wheat-free. If you have not tried it, I really suggest that you might like it.

Thank you Sam for a delightful Chicken Marengo. I did not even bother finding my old recipe as I knew this one sounded perfect.

  6. Susan, I'm so glad you and the Trout liked the Chicken Marengo. I love that you used Quinoa with it. How clever and modern. I didn't realize it was gluten-free. I'll be sure to remember that.

  9. My Mom was just mentioning that she bought a bag of Quinoa and was trying to figure out the best way to cook it. Maybe you could do a post about that? The chicken looks terrific!
