• bring chicken broth and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. saute onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. add ground chicken and break into small pieces while cooking until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes.
