Cooking the Quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine it with 2 cups of water in a pot.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes until fluffy.

Grilling the Chicken and Mango

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix honey and lime juice together.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and brush with the honey-lime mixture.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.
Add mango slices to the grill for the last 2-3 minutes until charred.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey-lime mixture for an hour before grilling. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
