- While the Quinoa is cooking, cook the chicken. In a large pan, melt the coconut oil on medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until done, the chicken should be white with no pink in the middle.
- Add Teriyaki sauce to the chicken. Cover and let cook on low for about 5 minutes
- To plate: Place a bed of Quinoa on the plate. Brush the kabobs with some of the Teriyaki sauce and carefully remove the vegetables from the skewers. Place them on the plate. Scoop out the chicken with a slotted spoon and add to plate.
