I decided to try this since my friend got a bag of quinoa to try. It's a hit!!! Kids, husband, and friend loved it. I improvised and used chicken breast I seasoned and cooked myself with salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning only. The sour cream and Cajun seasoning at the end was surprisingly good. I thought this recipe would be enough to last us for 2 nights but we ate so much that we only have enough for 2 or 3 people for lunch the next day. Definitely try this one!

This is pretty dang tasty. It is also the first time I've successfully used quinoa. I let them toast up a bit before adding the chicken broth. Just a few minutes. Like another reviewer, I didn't want to use rotisserie chicken, so I just salt and peppered two breasts and baked them for 20-25 min at 350. Gave them a rough chop and added to the pot at the end. I think a bit more Cajun would be ok. Probably will season the chicken with it next time. The sour cream is a really nice touch. Don't go without it.

This soup was very good. I have four kids and they all enjoyed it. The sour cream was perfect to balance the heat. I also had to add a little water to keep it more soup like.

My boyfriend and I made this last night and initially were a little worried it might not have enough depth of flavor. We decided to use chicken breasts that we'd rubbed with the cajun seasoning. We cooked the chicken breasts in a dutch oven, the same pot we used for the soup. Everything turned out amazing, cooking the chicken in the same pot really gave us added flavor, nice and spicy just the way we like. The sour cream at the end was a nice touch to balance out the heat. It will definitely be a staple in our house. Cooking the chicken ourselves rather than using rotisserie did take longer but was fine for us. We also added more chicken broth and water because the longer it sat, the more stew like it became. Looking forward to enjoying it at lunch today!
