Odds and Ends

Yesterday for dinner, I decided to take on Other Blonde Girl's challenge. We had some scallions, half a box of quinoa, half a red onion, chicken broth, lemons and cilantro. We also had a pound of chicken thighs and spinach from our CSA (yum). What did we end up with....?

Lemon chicken with sauteed red onions and cilantro, quinoa tossed with green onions, and sauteed spinach. I cooked the chicken until it was nicely browned and then removed from the pan. I added some dry sherry to deglaze the pan and then my saucier (husband) completed the sauce with lemon juice, chicken broth and a bit of butter and flour. I cooked the onions separately and then tossed back in with the sauce at the end. Finally, we sprinkled the final dish with chopped cilantro.
