So here we have it. The curried chicken quinoa with peas recipe…that I will be making 3 times a week, just for Tyler.
Well, maybe not that often…but it’s certainly one I will be adding to our regular rotation!
There is so much flavor in this recipe, despite it’s simplicity. This is what I love about One Dish Dinners!
