Chicken Asparagus Casserole
Light Asparagus, Chicken Quinoa Bake is filled with leeks, bacon, asparagus and extra sharp white cheddar for a flavor packed dinner that is so good, you won’t believe it is lightened up! In addition to all the flavorful components, it is packed with lean chicken and the protein packed super food, quinoa.
Quinoa Recipe with Chicken
Along with a homemade sauce, you get a hearty meal heavy on nutrients and light on fat. Much like my other quinoa recipes with chicken like Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake and Pizza Stuffed Chicken Quinoa Bake, there are no cans of processed cream soups in this recipe!
This meal makes a great make-ahead dinner option. Mix it up, toss it in the refrigerator the night before and you can throw it in the oven when you get home from work the next day. You will have dinner on the table in less than an hour and more time to spend with your family after work!
Healthy Quinoa Bake
Whether you are bringing a meal to a friend or prepping dinner for your spouse when you have to work late, this dinner makes a complete healthy meal everyone will love.
Easy meal prep recipes are my favorite. I rarely have the energy to sit down and make a full meal with the hussle and bussle of two kids. If I can prep something the night before or in the afternoon while they are sleeping it makes all of our lives easier!
Creative Asparagus Recipes
Another reason I love this Chicken Asparagus Casserole so much, is that you can get creative and change up the recipe by swapping out a few ingredients.
Instead of asparagus, try out some broccoli or spinach and give goat cheese or Gruyere a try for a little variety in flavor. I promise you, that after you make this once, you will want to make it again and again!
Quinoa bakes are a healthy and delicious alternative to your Mom’s casseroles, but provide the same comforting meal. This Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Bake and Pizza Stuffed Chicken Quinoa Bake are both great takes on this lightened up version of hotdish.
