Season the chicken breast with sea salt, black pepper, and a teaspoon of the lemon juice.
Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, combine the cooked quinoa, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and chopped parsley in a medium mixing bowl.
Whisk together the olive oil and the remaining lemon juice in a small jar or bowl to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables and grain.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
Serve the chicken over the quinoa salad and top with the slivered almonds for a clean, nutrient-dense lunch.
