Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine with 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan.
Bring quinoa to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a touch of dried oregano.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly coat with half of the olive oil.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken rests, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Toss the cooked quinoa with the remaining olive oil and a splash of lemon juice.
Slice the chicken and serve alongside the quinoa and broccoli, finishing with the remaining lemon juice for a bright flavor.
