Whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it, ensuring it is well-coated on both sides.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa and toss it with the remaining half of the lemon-garlic marinade.
Slice the grilled chicken and serve it alongside the fluffy quinoa and steamed broccoli for a clean, balanced lunch.
