Chicken with Broccoli and Quinoa Stir-fry

I have been getting lazy lately and making a lot of stir-fry I was getting tired of eating stir-fry over rice so I changed it up and made stir-fry with quinoa instead. The results were delicious. The red quinoa made the whole dish more pleasing to look at--the dark red just pops against the green of the broccoli.
