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.
