I'm curious about these garlic chicken meatballs...

My plan for this week is short since I'm away most of the week.

Sunday: Peach and Bourbon BBQ pulled pork sliders. Cole slaw on the side.

Monday: Pork tacos (left overs from last night minus the BBQ sauce.

Tuesday-Sunday- away.

Sunday night when we get back, I might pull some of my homemade gnocchi out of the freezer. If not, it's cheese sandwiches.

Wednesday: Cheesy Chicken and Vegetable Quinoa Casserole

Here is the recipe, but I like to add more vegetables, so I always add a red bell pepper and sometimes string beans or green bell peppers in addition.

Ingredients

1½ cups quinoa
broccoli, cut into small florets (at least 1 head)
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
3 tbsp. flour
2 shallots, diced
2 cups milk
¼ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. dry mustard
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded*
2 cups shredded cooked chicken


Cook the quinoa according to the package directions. Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a saucepan and add a couple inches of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Let boil just 1-2 minutes more, until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400° F. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, shallots, garlic powder, dry mustard and cayenne. Continue whisking the mixture until it is light golden, about 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk. Allow the sauce to simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, broccoli florets, shredded cooked chicken and the cheese sauce. Fold together gently until evenly combined.

Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish. Bake until the top is lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

*For best results, always use freshly shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese comes coated in things such as flour, cornstarch to prevent clumping and results in an unpleasant, gritty texture when melted.
