I did not make any changes to the recipe followed it to the T. Didn't take long to prepare. Very nutritious and filling. The flavor was great. My husband and I really enjoyed it...complete meal in one pan. Enough for me to have several lunches through the week.
Really liked. 2nd time around. Added more chicken & used very little cinnamon.
This is a very tasty and healthy recipe. I've cooked it twice (once at my house and one at my daughters' house) and both times I had to cook it an additional 30 minutes. Once it's cooked it's delicious just give it more time!
The flavors in this dish are complex and fantastic! This high fiber dish will be in my regular rotation. My kids and husband love it! I made it exactly as the recipe stated and the sweet potatoes were nicely cooked (make sure your cubes are about 1/2 inch) and the quinoa had that little pop in your mouth. I had never really cooked much with poblano peppers and I am not a fan of really spiced foods. This is not spicey just bursting with flavor! Love it!
Unless you're chopping like a Top Chef in a mise en place challenge, this recipe takes at least 65 minutes. After reading other reviews about half cooked quinoa, I cooked the quinoa with the spices and chicken broth separately which may have been to detriment. It was ok and just felt like I was eating sweet potatoes, chicken, and quinoa with cheese. This recipes makes A LOT!
Delicious and nutritious. Had to leave the casserole in oven an extra 10 minutes before broiling to make sure sweet potatoes were done. Might not have if had wrapped foil a little tighter?
I cooked sweet potatoes in the microwave like recipe said and left them covered until added to pan. Did not have a problem with under cooked. I did not have pableno peppers so I used a cut up yellow pepper and added a couple of our canned jalepneos. Was good and filling
First off I agree with another reviewer that the quinoa isn t cooked enough. I d probably cook it for about ten minutes in the chicken broth (with a little extra broth) before adding it into the onions and peppers. The casserole didn t have a lot of liquid left over at all so I wouldn t be afraid that everything would turn out too soggy with the extra liquid. Prep was also a bit more intensive than I liked partly because I had to debone my own chicken thighs but also just chopping everything takes a while. The dish has really good flavor though and there s plenty for leftovers to take to work. Chicken was nice and moist easy to cut. And I was definitely a bit generous with the cheese at the end.
Sweet potatoes were not close to being finished.
