1
Place the chicken cubes in a bowl, season with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
2
Preheat a large skillet to medium heat, add olive oil and the seasoned chicken. Sauté for around 5 minutes until the chicken pieces are browned on all sides.
3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes or until the water released from the mushrooms has almost fully evaporated.
4
Stir in the cubed zucchini and squash, and sauté for a quick 2 minutes just to slightly soften them.
5
In the same skillet, add the rinsed quinoa and chicken stock. Give it a nice stir to insure everything is well combined.
6
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low-medium and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. The quinoa should become fluffy and the chicken should be cooked through.
7
Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle in the chopped parsley and drizzle the lemon juice over everything. Give everything another good mix before serving.
