Quinoa with Creamy Mushroom Chicken Sauce is a simple, delicious and filling meal. If you make the quinoa and the sauce simultaneously, it’s a quick meal too!
It looks like I’m really late for the quinoa-hype train, but better later than never, I’m on! When I bought it, I’ll be honest, I was afraid it’d taste awful, but the taste is so neutral, it’s perfect!
The sauce is a simple, flavored bechamel sauce with sliced chicken breasts and halved mushrooms.
If you’ve been here before and seen any of my dinner recipes, you know I really don’t like complicated meals for dinner, that takes forever to make and make a huge mess. So this recipe is no exception to that, and I hope you’ll like it.

Servings 4 servings of Quinoa with Creamy Mushroom Chicken Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pack of Quinoa
- 1 large clove of Garlic or two smaller
- 1 purple Onion
- 1 pair of Chicken Breasts without bone and skin
- 1/2 jar of Button Mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 Bouillon Cube
- Salt pepper, nutmeg, turmeric, and parsley to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the quinoa according to the package. Add a bouillon cube to the water before you mix them. (I used 1 part of quinoa and 3 part of the water)
- While it's getting puffed up, make the sauce.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- While it's melting, dice the onion and crush the garlic with a garlic press.
- Add the onion and the garlic to the melting butter. Let them soften over medium heat. (Be careful, the garlic burns quickly)
- In the meanwhile, slice the chicken breasts and halve the small button mushrooms.
- Add the seasoning to the butter, if the onion softened enough, add the chicken slices and the halved mushrooms.
- Stir it until most of the chicken slices turns white.
- Sprinkle the flour on the chicken and mix them well.
- Pour the milk over, mix it. (The chicken slices may make it a little harder, but it's easier if you push them away and mix the milk in between the slices)
- Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes (depends on the size of your slices, but to be sure, cut a bigger slice in the middle and see if no pink part left in).
- Pour the quinoa into a plate and top it with the sauce, serve it hot.
Pin it for later!
