In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the lemon juice and dried parsley.
While the quinoa simmers, rub the chicken breast with the olive oil and season both sides with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the chicken on the grill pan. Cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken rests, place the broccoli in a skillet with a steamer basket and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until tender.
Slice the chicken. Serve the chicken over the quinoa with the steamed broccoli on the side.
