Teriyaki Chicken with Mango & Jalapeño Quinoa

Sometimes a recipe just comes to your mind and your instant reaction is “why didn’t I think of that before?” This recipe is just that. I made myself teriyaki chicken and was wondering what I should eat with it and the thought just came to me. The best part about the Cucina & Amore Quinoa Meal is that the sauce completes the meal. It has everything that you need that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen trying to prepare, but definitely provides all the flavor and nutrition.

The simplicity of this recipe is that you only technically needs 2 ingredients: teriyaki chicken and the Mango & Jalapeño Quinoa Meal. The teriyaki and mango blend together to provide the perfect amount of sweetness with a subtle bite of jalapeño heat.

I hope to have more of those “A-ha!” moments again because this one was one great idea that I’m happy to share.
