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.
