Instructions

In a mixing bowl combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil with honey, lime, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Add in chicken breast and mix to coat well on all sides.
Heat a grill pan or an outside grill over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until cooked through and no longer pink on the inside, 10-12 minutes. Set aside on a chopping board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it.
In a large bowl mix quinoa, sweet corn, tomatoes, onions, and fresh chopped cilantro. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix to combine.
Divide quinoa mixture among 4 bowls, then top with sliced grilled chicken and avocado. Enjoy!

Notes

if you prefer shrimp over chicken go ahead and make the switch.
you may use boneless chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
use rice instead of quinoa
instead of honey, you may use agave or brown sugar
