1 teaspoon

Instructions
1

In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3

While the chicken is marinating, rinse the quinoa under cold water and then cook it according to package instructions, typically using 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water.

4

Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool. In a separate bowl, mix diced avocado, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the avocado salsa.

5

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the excess marinade.

6

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the quinoa salad by adding diced cucumber, chopped bell pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to the cooled quinoa, mixing well.

8

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken on a bed of quinoa salad, topped with avocado salsa, and garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.
