super tasty and delicious
How many cups is 14oz quinoa?
1.75 cups
Can just water be used instead of chicken stock?
Sure! This recipe has a lot of spices and flavors (including actual chicken). It will come out a little different without chicken stock but will still be amazing. Enjoy!

Can rice be used instead?
Amazing recipe! Chicken and quinoa were super soft and very tasty! Question: Can this be made with the chicken pre-skinned?
Yes, sure!
Can I bake this in a disposable 9×13 and if yes how?
Yussi says: “I never tried it. But I don’t see why not.

You’ll get a dish as close as possible to this recipe.”
do you have to soak quinia first
No, you don’t need to soak quinoa. However, doing so is said to make it easier for people to digest. If you just want to remove the bitter flavor from quinoa, rinse it under cold water for about a minute.
