Did you know you can cook more than just rice in a rice cooker? It’s true. There are many different foods to cook in one: rice, oatmeal, soup, cakes, stews and even quinoa. This is a recipe that is quick and easy without sacrificing the health of your meal! In my experience quinoa can be difficult to master. The texture is the most common reason people don’t like it, but with this Frigidaire Professional Rice Cooker I was able to get the perfect mix of soft and crunchy for this recipe!
To make this chicken fried quinoa I started by cooking quinoa in the Frigidaire Professional Rice Cooker. Quinoa does cook a little faster than rice, so when I made this quinoa I put it in the Rice Cooker following the manufacturer’s instructions, but I did need to monitor the cook time. I put it on a quick cook setting and checked it at 15 minutes which I have seen as a suggested time setting, but mine still wasn’t done so I left it in there another 5-10 minutes. You want to cook it until the liquid is fully absorbed. Traditionally for chicken fried rice I would use day old rice to obtain the correct texture, so I did this with my quinoa. I made it the night before, and with this rice cooker it is super easy to clean up, you just have to wash the small inner bowl and you’re done! I refrigerated it in my Frigidaire Professional French Door Refrigerator, and it will be ready to go whenever it’s the next meal time!
First I cooked my eggs omelette style with the PowerPlus burner on my Frigidaire Professional Gas Range, and set aside. Next I wanted to get a quick sauté on my chicken to help keep it from drying out, so I sautéed it on a high heat with the PowerPlus burner as well. All that’s left is to add the ingredients as you go. It doesn’t take long at all, making this a great option for those busy nights!

Fried chicken in all forms make me happy. The great thing about boneless fried chicken is sandwiched with lots of crunch. GREG
