1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare Chicken
While quinoa is cooking, season 2 pieces of chicken breasts with 1 tsp of salt, 0.5 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
3
Cook Chicken
Add seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
4
Steam Broccoli
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the broccoli florets. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pan and stir to coat the broccoli.

5
Plate the Dish
On a plate, serve a portion of quinoa, topped with sliced chicken breast and steamed broccoli. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top for added flavor.
6
Garnish
Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
