Place a large saute pan (with higher sides) over medium high heat and add oil once heated.

Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you create 4 thin chicken breasts.

Sprinkle chicken breasts with some salt and pepper.  Add chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side (or until chicken is cooked throughout).

Then to that pan add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes.

Add water and bring it to a boil, then add in quinoa, cherry tomatoes, basil, garlic and a pinch of salt.

Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

Serve 1/4 of the quinoa with 1 piece of chicken breast.
