Prep 12 minCook 45 min

1
Cook the quinoa in low-sodium chicken broth according to package instructions. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
2
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, chutney, sriracha, and teriyaki sauce; set aside.
3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray with coconut oil. Cook the garlic, carrots, and red onions until the onions are translucent.
4
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks until fully cooked. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cooled quinoa, stirring well.
5
Quickly stir in the sauce to avoid burning. Add the eggs, stirring and chopping to distribute evenly. Reduce the heat to medium, add the frozen edamame, and cook until thawed.
