Crockpot Quinoa Chicken Primavera - easy, healthy, and totally delicious! made with peas, asparagus, quinoa, chicken, pesto, and Parmesan cheese.

Crockpot Quinoa Chicken Primavera

quinoa, uncooked

chicken breasts

chicken broth (SEE NOTES)

garlic

salt and pepper, other dried herbs you

asparagus,

pesto (SEE NOTES)

peas

lemon juice

watercress, fresh parsley, chives,

Parmesan cheese

Rinse the quinoa. Cut the chicken if you want &#8211; you can either cut it into small pieces (it will cook faster) or leave it whole and shred it after cooking.

Place the quinoa, chicken, 4 cups broth, garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and seasonings in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours.

When the quinoa and chicken are done, the mixture should be very thick and sticky. Add the remaining 3 cups broth or water and stir to combine (see notes) &#8211; now the mixture should resemble a creamy risotto or casserole. Stir in the pesto, peas, and lemon juice and cover to heat through. While the peas are heating in the crockpot, heat the oil in a skillet &#8211; add the asparagus and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until the asparagus is lightly browned and tender-crisp. Add the asparagus back to the crockpot and stir to combine.

Top each serving with fresh herbs, shredded cheese, watercress, olive oil, or anything else you want.

Yassss, girl, yasss! I am such a fan of everything happening with this dish: quinoa, sauteed veggies with the perfect pop of green color, and crockpot happenings. I love those 8-10 hour crockpot recipes (coming home to the smell if always wonderful), but it's so necessary to have these kind of (quicker) recipes in your back pocket too.

This Pasta Primavera with lemon, chicken and spring vegetables is perfect for any night of the week. That creamy sauce is all kinds of dreamy!

Place the chicken on a cutting board in front of you.
