We love a good casserole here at Fit Mama In 30 especially when it contains quinoa, cheese, and oh yeah... crispy broccoli with panko bread crumb topping! This is a family favorite, and hopefully one at your home as well! It is a little longer than 30 minutes but totally worth it! * Add shredded rotisserie chicken for more protein! 

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth or water
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed under running water in a mesh sieve for a minute and drained
• 16 ounces broccoli florets, either pre-packaged or sliced from 2 large bunches of broccoli
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• few twists freshly ground black pepper 
• *optional ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 8 ounces (about 2 ½ cups) freshly grated cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 cup low-fat milk
•  1 cup whole wheat parmesan panko bread crumbs (enough to top casserole)
