Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions and allow it to cool completely.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper, then grill over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the cucumber and red bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, grilled chicken, and chopped vegetables.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
