Quinoa is High in Protein

One of the key ingredients in this recipe is quinoa. While technically a pseudograin, quinoa is an excellent source of protein, making it a great alternative to traditional grains.

Each serving of quinoa contains about 8 grams of protein, and a serving of chicken also packs a whopping 26 grams!
