Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss the broccoli with half the olive oil and a pinch of the salt. Spread on a half-sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes until the edges are charred and tender.
While the broccoli roasts, bring the water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small pot. Add the quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, then remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes. Done when grains are fluffy.
Whisk the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, dried basil, garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Add the chicken breast and turn to coat.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6 minutes. Flip and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more until the center is opaque. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork. Plate the lemon chicken alongside the roasted broccoli and quinoa.
