Quinoa serves the same as rice so base your amount as you would cooking rice.
Shred the roasted chicken or cut thin slices of sauteed chicken.
Put it in a shallow bowl and marinate in the Chinese sesame marinara for a half hour.
Boil quinoa with a pinch of sea salt, goat butter (or regular), a splash of olive oil or coconut oil, two to one water or an organic broth base, like onion soup, vegetable broth, or chicken broth. Boil until the water slowly disappears, stirring occasionally, add water if it is loosing too much moisture. Simmer for ten minutes with a lid. Quinoa should look fluffy and moist (cooks like brown rice).
Soak the chopped eggplant in water to hydrate for moisture.
In a separate saute pan, saute a couple cloves of chopped garlic, and slice a half an onion in olive oil, add a pinch of sea salt and a splash of the broth for juiciness.
Add sweet potatoe/yams, eggplant, and more broth, put the tempurature to medium and a lid on it. Let it sit for a few minutes and cook. Add thyme, oregeno, basil, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken, stir for a couple minutes.
Add the rest of the vegetables. Add a splash of coconut oil, sesame oil, and redwine vinegar/or white vinegar.
Stir and let it cook for a few minutes. When the veggies are cooked but still have color in them, turn the heat on low and add fresh basil, stir for a couple minutes.
Turn the heat off and serve with fresh chopped cilantro over the bed of quinoa.
