Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt in a small bowl.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the lemon-pepper marinade over it, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the other components.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water and cook according to package instructions until the germ has separated and it is fluffy.
Steam the broccoli florets over boiling water for 4-5 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil spray if needed.
Grill the chicken breast for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the fluffy quinoa and steamed broccoli, garnishing with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon if desired.
