    FAQ for Chicken Quinoa Bowls with honey roasted Balsamic Vegetables.

    Can I use something other than Quinoa?

    YES. Please at some point try quinoa because trust me, its fantastic. If your family or whoever you're cooking this for is a simple food crew you can make this with rice instead! (My favourite is uncle bens converted brown rice. It cooks in 20 minutes and you can season it the exact same as I describe in this recipe and use the same amounts.)

    We don't like Chicken, can we make this with another protein?

    Yes you can. The cook time and technique will be different though so please account for that.

    I don't have balsamic/honey what else can I use?

    You can make this with any vinaigrette type dressing! (psst you can use bottle dressing if you want) Greek, Italian, Honey Dijon etc.

    What other vegetables can I make this with?

    Broccoli, Zucchini, Cauliflower, Mushrooms
