    Brie Chicken and Vegetables

    Chicken and vegetables served with quinoa and covered in a mouth-watering Brie sauce.

    Brie = one of the best cheeses. I mean, I pretty much love all cheese. Everyone in my family loves cheese. It's a regular before meals or as a snack or even breakfast

    My sister's favorite is brie, so when I found a recipe for a brie cheese sauce, I knew I had to make it for her fam last time I was home {luckily they bought the groceries :)}

    I apologize to those with dairy allergies or who do not eat dairy for personal reasons, but I had to post this recipe. I couldn't wait to post it any longer.

    If you like brie, well, you are in for a treat!

    I love making cheese sauces - they are great for casseroles, macaroni & cheese, or just for topping to add amazing flavor to your meal...

    and this brie cheese sauce is poured over the chicken, vegetables, and grain

    I used onions, mushrooms & asparagus for the veggies and quinoa for the grain.

    Perfect choices, in my opinion, but you could always substitute any veggie you like. I mean, everything tastes better with cheese on top {especially brie}

    {before the sauce}

    Brown rice or whole wheat couscous or even pasta would also work well here.

    You'll need a large skillet or Dutch over to cook the chicken, mushrooms & onions, and make the Brie sauce. You'll use a saucepan to cook the asparagus and quinoa.

    Ingredients

    • 2 teaspoon oil olive or avocado oil, divided
    • 1 lb. chicken breast or tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 ¾ cup water divided
    • 1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed
    • ¾ cup quinoa uncooked
    • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
    • 1 large onion diced
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 ¾ cup milk divided
    • 3 tablespoon flour
    • 4 ounces Brie without rind & cut into cubes

    Instructions

    • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon salt. Add chicken and cook until done, about 3-5 minutes per side depending upon thickness. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
    • Meanwhile, in a separate medium saucepan, bring ¼ cup water and asparagus to a boil. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender. Drain and transfer to plate with chicken.
    • In that same saucepan, bring 1.5 cups water and quinoa to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid has absorbed. Fluff before serving.
    • Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the skillet {along with any bits of chicken that may remain in the skillet}, and add mushrooms and onions to skillet. Sauté veggies over medium-high until softened, about 7-10 minutes. Add in garlic, and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from skillet and transfer to plate with the chicken & asparagus. Keep warm.
    • In the same skillet, warm 1.5 cups milk over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ¼ cup milk and flour. Make sure no lumps remain.
    • Slowly whisk milk-flour mixture into the milk in the skillet. Continue to stir with a heat-proof spatula or whisk until mixture has thickened, about 4 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and add in Brie. Stir until the cheese has melted.
    • Plate the chicken, vegetables, and quinoa. Pour the Brie sauce over everything. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Reserve remaining sauce in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. To reheat, transfer to saucepan with a couple of tablespoons water or milk over medium-low. Cook sauce, stirring often, until it comes to desired temperature. Add more water or milk as needed.
