Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small saucepan with 0.5 cups of water; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
While quinoa cooks, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with half of the olive oil and sear the chicken for about 6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove chicken to a plate to rest, then add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet along with the minced garlic and broccoli florets.
Sauté the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes, adding a splash of water if needed to steam, until the edges are slightly charred and tender.
Stir the lemon juice into the cooked quinoa and fluff with a fork to incorporate the bright citrus notes.
Slice the chicken into strips and arrange over the quinoa and broccoli, finishing the dish with the fresh avocado slices.
