Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a half tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken breast on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, cook the quinoa according to package instructions if it's not pre-cooked. Typically, this involves rinsing it and then boiling in water with a pinch of salt until fluffy.
In a large bowl, combine roasted bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and mixed salad greens.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine.
Slice the rested chicken breast into strips or bite-sized pieces.
To serve, place a layer of quinoa on the plate, followed by the salad mixture. Top with grilled chicken pieces and sprinkle with feta cheese if desired.
