In a small bowl, whisk together half of the olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small pot with 2/3 cup of water or vegetable broth.
Bring the quinoa to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
While quinoa cooks, heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Once the quinoa is finished, fluff it with a fork and stir in the Greek yogurt and the remaining olive oil until creamy.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it over the creamy quinoa with the steamed broccoli on the side.
