Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small baking dish, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried basil, half the salt, and half the pepper. Place the chicken breast in the dish and turn to coat thoroughly.
Roast the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is opaque and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. While the chicken roasts, prepare the quinoa and broccoli.
In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa, water, and a pinch of the remaining salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Set a steamer basket over a few inches of boiling water in a pot. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until tender and bright green. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
