Step 1 of 6

Place chicken, allspice, chilli, coriander seeds and oil in a large bowl and toss to coat. Stand for 10 minutes to allow flavours to infuse.

Step 2 of 6

Meanwhile, place quinoa, beans, coriander stems and 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes or until quinoa is cooked and water has evaporated. Stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, turning, for 12 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4 of 6

Meanwhile, combine onion, cucumber, tomato and coriander leaves in a medium bowl. Season with pepper.

Return frying pan to high heat. Cook pineapple, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden and heated through. Add to tomato mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6 of 6

Divide quinoa mixture among serving plates. Top with chicken and salsa. Serve with yoghurt.
