Poach or pan-sear the chicken breast until cooked through, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
Rinse quinoa and cook in 360ml of water until tender, then fluff with a fork.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked quinoa, rinsed black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
In a small jar, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to combine before serving.
