Step 1: Rinse the quinoa under cold water and place in a small saucepan with 150 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
Step 2: While the quinoa is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breast onto the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75┬░C.
Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 tbsp of olive oil with minced garlic.
Step 5: In a separate frying pan, add the garlic-infused olive oil and saut├⌐ cherry tomatoes over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until slightly blistered.
Step 6: Add baby spinach to the pan with tomatoes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
Step 7: Serve the grilled chicken breast on a plate with cooked quinoa and the saut├⌐ed vegetable mix on the side. If desired, drizzle with lemon juice.
