Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine with chicken broth in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Steam the asparagus spears over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until they are tender and bright green.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and minced garlic if desired.
Slice the chicken and serve it over the quinoa pilaf alongside the steamed asparagus.
