  1. Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and let cool.
  2. Season chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook in a pan over medium heat until golden and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes each side). Set aside to rest, then slice.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
  4. Make the dressing: Whisk together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic (minced) and olive oil—season with salt and pepper.
  5. Combine the cooled quinoa, chopped broccoli, and diced red onion in a large bowl.
  6. Add the sliced chicken to the bowl.
  7. Pour over the dressing and toss everything together well.
