Instructions
1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

2

While the chicken marinates, prepare the mango-habanero glaze by blending ripe mango, habanero pepper, honey, and a splash of apple cider vinegar until smooth.

3

Set aside half of the glaze for serving later. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with the mango-habanero glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for a caramelized finish.

5

While the chicken is grilling, cook the quinoa according to package instructions, substituting half of the water with coconut milk for added flavor.

6

Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

7

Serve the grilled chicken over a bed of coconut-lime quinoa, drizzling the reserved mango-habanero glaze on top for an extra kick.

8

Garnish with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for a vibrant presentation.
