You want to know my secret to healthy, home cooking?
It is keeping a well stocked freezer and pantry.
Sounds simple, and it really is if you make-up your mind to DO IT!!! Thankfully, with the help of a run to BJ’s Wholesale Club, I am able to knock out a large portion of my grocery needs and be well on the way to getting healthy meals on my table.
Take this Quinoa Bowl that is filled with the flavors of a Chicken Fajita. 
It was as easy as me pulling a few key items from my stocked kitchen and in less than 30 minutes, dinner was on the table! When I used my Instant Pot dinner was done in 12 minutes!!
This Chicken Quinoa Bowl comes together by mixing Quinoa, Homemade Chicken Stock, Salsa, Frozen Peppers and Onions, chicken breasts, and taco seasoning together. The toppings are endless, but I am a fan of freshly shredded cheddar cheese, Greek yogurt/Sour Cream, cilantro, and fresh tomatoes.
Thankfully, I am able to find all of these items at BJ’s Wholesale Club–from the frozen vegetables to the dried grains and pastas to the fresh meat and vegetables. I absolutely love their Wellsley Farms brand and can often find quality, organic versions of many items off my shopping list. Not to mention BJ’s accepts manufacturer’s coupons–leaving me even more money to stock my pantry….or buy some extra dark chocolate to reward my healthy eating habits. 
Regardless of what life throws my way, I am able to rest assure that dinner does not need to be something I stress over. Especially not when a few simple items I always have on hand come together to create such a family-pleasing meal.

Thanks so much!
I don’t know what it is about quinoa bowls that I love so much! They are so satisfying and filling and can be made with so many different flavors. Mexican is always my favorite way to prepare them. This looks healthy and simple enough to make any night of the week!
Karen if quinoa and Mexican are your things–you are going to LOVE these bowls!
Totally agree a stocked pantry (and freezer) is the key to making great meals at home. Sure I love the fact that if I lived in Italy I would visit the markets everyday to get fresh ingredients. Busy families need nutritious food, not take out. This is a perfect example of how easy it can be…with a little planning of course.
What a dream to live next to fresh markets!! I think I would spend probably too much time there!
This is absolutely amazing. Looks so healthy and tasty!
I promise it is 🙂
Such a delicious meal in a bowl, I’m all over this dish, YUM!
Thanks so much Debra!
Can this recipe be doubled in the instant pot? If so, would it be cooked for the same amount of time?
Hi Lori! I have not doubled this recipe for the instant pot, but based on other recipes I have successfully doubled, I would increase cooking time to 15 minutes verses the 12. Let me know how it goes if you give it a try!
