Instructions
1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts in a mixture of tamarind paste, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes.

2

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the chicken marinates. In a medium saucepan, cook 1 cup of quinoa according to package instructions, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

3

In a separate bowl, mix the cooked quinoa with diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

4

Cut the tops off of 2 large bell peppers and remove the seeds, then stuff them with the quinoa mixture.

5

Grill the stuffed peppers on the grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.

6

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the grilled chicken alongside the quinoa-stuffed bell peppers, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
