Rinse the quinoa thoroughly and simmer in water or vegetable broth until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are fluffy.
Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until they reach a vibrant green and tender-crisp texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the raw lemon juice and minced garlic to create a bright finishing drizzle.
Plate the chicken over the quinoa and broccoli, then finish with the lemon-garlic dressing.
