Ingredients

4 pieces
coconut milk
1 cup
lime juice
1 /4 cup
lime zest
1 tablespoon
garlic, minced
3 cloves
fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
salt
1 teaspoon
quinoa
1 cup
vegetable broth

Instructions
1

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

2

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

3

While the chicken marinates, rinse the quinoa under cold water and then cook it according to package instructions, using vegetable broth instead of water for added flavor.

4

In a separate bowl, mix diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt to prepare the mango salsa.

5

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

6

Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro.

7

Serve the sliced chicken over a bed of cilantro quinoa, topped with the fresh mango salsa for a burst of flavor.
