In a small bowl, whisk together half of the olive oil, half of the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish, coat with the marinade, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, combine the cooked quinoa, red bell pepper, cucumber, and parsley in a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk the remaining olive oil and lemon juice together, then toss with the quinoa mixture.
Remove the chicken from the heat, let it rest for 3 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Plate the quinoa salad, top with the sliced chicken, and garnish with the sliced almonds for added texture.
