Rinse quinoa in a fine sieve until water runs clear, then drain and transfer to a medium pot. 


Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. 


Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat grilling. 


In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, honey, lemon juice and pepper. 


Thread chicken, pineapple, pepper and tomatoes onto skewers. 


Remove 1 tablespoon honey-mustard mixture and brush skewers with it.
