Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces.
  6. Whisk lime juice, peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and remaining 1 garlic clove together in a bowl; whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sesame oil until dressing is smooth.
  7. Divide quinoa among bowls; top with chicken, sweet potato mixture, spinach, and avocado. Sprinkle cilantro and sesame seeds over top; drizzle with dressing.
