Season the chicken breast with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly coat with avocado oil spray.
Grill the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until charred and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, place the cooked quinoa, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced cucumber in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice and olive oil until it forms a smooth, creamy dressing.
Fold the avocado dressing into the quinoa and vegetable mixture until everything is thoroughly coated.
Let the grilled chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Serve the sliced chicken over the bed of creamy avocado quinoa salad and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired.
