6. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
7. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F on a meat thermometer.
8. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain for tenderness.
9. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, ½ cup diced cucumber, and ¼ cup sliced red onion with 2 tbsp lemon juice to brighten the vegetables.
10. Divide cooked quinoa evenly between two bowls.
11. Top quinoa with sliced chicken, then spoon ½ cup hummus and ¼ cup basil pesto over each serving.
12. Finish by scattering the marinated vegetables on top.
Great texture comes from the fluffy quinoa, tender chicken, and crisp veggies, all tied together by the creamy hummus and herbaceous pesto. For a twist, swap in roasted sweet potatoes or avocado slices, or drizzle with extra lemon juice for added zing.
