Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. 4. In a bowl, mix cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. 5. Plate the grilled chicken alongside the quinoa salad. Serve warm.
