Is there anything else i can substitute for Quinoa? I live in a small midwestern town and we don't have trader joe's, or anything alike. Hi Roni,

Quinoa needs to be rinsed very well before it is cooked. It naturally has a very bitter coating on it that a good rinse with water will get rid of.

I have had Quinoa sitting in my pantry for almost a year and didn't know what to do with it. This reminded me of the KFC bowl-in a much healthier way! I put a link on my blog today to this recipe, I hope it was ok! Thanks for your great food ideas! My family really liked this!

Julie - I found it at trader joe's. But I think it's getting more popular now. I'll check the local grocery store to see if I can find any. Chritsine and Kja - I defrosted the chicken just enough to be able to cut it. So it was still frozen in the crock pot, that's one of the reasons I cooked it so long. I've used frozen in the crock pot before no problem, as long as you know it completely cooked, I think it's ok. Hey guys, sorry for the late response.
