Combine the rinsed quinoa and chicken broth in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed and the quinoa tails have unfurled, about 12–14 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
