Tastes so fresh and healthy, this will definitely be a staple for dinners. Leftovers warmed up just as great! One question- I used frozen asparagus and noticed that I had a little extra water. What's the best way to combat the mushy quinoa- just add less water in the beginning if using frozen vegs?

Warm Quinoa and Chicken Salad
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving 4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced lengthwise 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, halved 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 1/3 cups water 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Directions
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring constantly, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add quinoa, chicken, lemon zest, and the water; bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 11 minutes. Add asparagus and peas, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed and vegetables are tender, 4 to 5 minutes more.
Remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes. Shred chicken and fluff quinoa. Add lemon juice and parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with scallion greens and drizzle with oil.
