In a medium bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

While the grill is heating, peel and core the pineapple, then slice it into ½-inch-thick rounds.

Grill the marinated chicken breasts and pineapple slices, turning as needed, until the chicken is cooked through and the pineapple is tender with light grill marks.

Remove everything from the grill and let it cool slightly before slicing the chicken and pineapple into bite-sized pieces.

Divide the spring mix salad greens between two bowls. Top with cooled quinoa or rice, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, grilled chicken, and pineapple. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve immediately.
