Chicken Quinoa Veggie Plate is an incredibly flavourful chicken recipe. Sautéed chicken, aioli sauce, plenty of veggies, a great recipe the family will love!
Last week I had the pleasure of visiting my best friend Lisa in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia! We have known each other since our sons were in kindergarten, over 15 years ago. Lisa is by far the best cook I know and over the years she has amazed me with many delicious meals. In addition to making gourmet dishes for family and friends Lisa has been instrumental in recipe development for their Pasta manufacturing company - Inovata Foods.
During my visit I was so thrilled to celebrate my Birthday (29th - again) with Lisa and her family. For my Birthday meal she created the most amazing chicken dish ever and graciously agreed to share it with me for my blog. This is an impressive dish that would be great to make for a dinner party or special meal, yet easy enough to cook any day of the week.
