Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is grilling, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, and slivered almonds in a medium mixing bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients.
Slice the grilled chicken into strips and serve it warm over the chilled crunchy quinoa salad.
