In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried basil, and half the salt and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes while you prepare the sides.
In a small pot, combine the quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the pan and cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more until the chicken is opaque in the center. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
While the chicken grills, place the broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until tender but still bright green. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
