  1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add quinoa, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 25 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork, set aside to cool for 10 minutes.

Stir carrot, red onion, tomato, and green onion with the chicken, cook and stir until the vegetables are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add quinoa and stir. Top with cilantro and lime juice.
