In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour half of the marinade over it, and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions until the water is absorbed and it is light and fluffy.
Steam the broccoli florets over boiling water for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp and bright green.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve over a bed of quinoa with the steamed broccoli and sliced avocado on the side.
Drizzle the remaining lemon-garlic marinade over the entire bowl for extra flavor.
