While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the chicken. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Add the cooked quinoa to the skillet with the tomatoes and garlic. Stir in the fresh basil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
