Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli & Quinoa Casserole

I just want to say that this is surely going to become one of our "go-to" recipes. This was super easy to prep & cooked while we did our nightly clean-up... which mostly consisted of screaming for us tonight. Ever have one of those nights. Well according to my two oldest sons I am the meanest mommy ever. BUT I make yummy dinner so at least there's that. :) This recipe calls for cheese and i used extra sharp cheddar because for whatever reason Cohen can tolerate that kind of cheese. ENJOY!!!!

Prepped & Oven Ready
