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.
