Preparation

Step 1


To prepare the chicken, combine the cinnamon, ginger, turmeric and coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium heat and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes, until they are nicely browned. Flip the chicken over and add the onion, water, garlic, orange juice and salt. Toss in the spices.
Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink.
While the chicken is simmering, prepare the quinoa by bringing the quinoa and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave the covered saucepan on the burner for an additional 7 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
Remove the quinoa from the heat and toss with the butter, honey and salt. Stir in the cinnamon.
To serve, divide the quinoa among 4 plates and top each with a piece of chicken. Pour the sauce over top. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
