  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped

  • 4 chicken legs, cut to thighs and drumsticks

  • 14 ounces Pereg White Quinoa

  • 32-ounce carton chicken stock

Add the chopped garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional two minutes.

Add the chicken legs to the pot, skin side down, and cook on a high flame for about three to four minutes to achieve a nice color on the skin.

Cover the pot, reduce the flame to low, and let it cook for two to three hours. Alternatively, you can bake it in a 350-degree oven.

Can just water be used instead of chicken stock?

Sure! This recipe has a lot of spices and flavors (including actual chicken). It will come out a little different without chicken stock but will still be amazing. Enjoy!

Amazing recipe! Chicken and quinoa were super soft and very tasty! Question: Can this be made with the chicken pre-skinned?

No, you don’t need to soak quinoa. However, doing so is said to make it easier for people to digest. If you just want to remove the bitter flavor from quinoa, rinse it under cold water for about a minute.
