Whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and half of the olive oil in a small bowl to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish, coat thoroughly with the marinade, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the quinoa by simmering it in water or broth until all liquid is absorbed and the grains are fluffy.
Heat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease the surface.
Grill the chicken for approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Steam the broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the steamed broccoli and season with a pinch of sea salt.
Slice the chicken and serve it atop the quinoa alongside the vibrant green broccoli.
