Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 1 teaspoon. Quarter the lime. Halve the tomatoes. Place in a bowl. Add the juice of 2 lime wedges and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes; taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then thinly slice crosswise. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. In a bowl, combine the honey (kneading the packet before opening), chile paste, and 1/4 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the quinoa to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 20 to 22 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot.
Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the pepitas; season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of the spice blend. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 3 minutes, or until toasted (be careful, as the pepitas may pop as they toast). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately season with salt. Wipe out the pan.
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion and sliced pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened and browned. Transfer to a bowl; cover with foil to keep warm.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the remaining spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Turn off the heat; stir in the juice of the remaining lime wedges. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
In a bowl, combine the yogurt and lime zest; season with salt and pepper. To the pot of cooked quinoa, add the cooked vegetables. Stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished quinoa topped with the glazed chicken (including any glaze from the pan), marinated tomatoes (including any liquid), and lime yogurt. Garnish with the toasted pepitas. Enjoy!
