    Since the recipe calls for 3 medium chicken breasts & it serves six do you cut the beasts in half before or after baking?

      We like to shred the chicken after baking. I made the correction to the recipe. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. 3 large chicken breasts will easily feed 6.

    Can rice be substituted for the quinoa and do you mix the 2 tablespoons water with the the cornstarch?

      Hi Erica. You could substitute rice for the quinoa. And yes the 2 Tablespoons of water are added to the cornstarch. And then add it to the cooked mixture.

    After you shred the chicken do you put it back in to bake with the veggies for another 15-20 min or leave it out and then top with shredded chicken after?

      Hi Christine. It would work best to thaw it first, then cook. Check often to be sure it is cooked all the way through.

    I wish I knew that the minute the mixture came to a boil, it'll boil over in a second. So, anyone else coming this, don't turn your back to the mixture while you're waiting for it to boil. Is the chicken supposed to be fully cooked (165f) when you shred it? It does it finish cooking with the veggies?

      You cook the chicken and sauce for 30 minutes as directed in the recipe. Then shred the chicken and add the veggies and quinoa to the chicken and cook another 20 minutes.

    Is there a way to reduce the soy sauce? As is, one serving of this has over 150% of your daily sodium. Also, how much dry quinoa is needed to make 1.5 cups cooked?

      We like reduced sodium soy sauce. Quinoa increases two to three times in size when cooked.
