Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer the quinoa for about 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is tender. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat the chicken breasts in the mixture and let them marinate for 10 minutes. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and transfer it to plates. Slice the chicken breasts and place them over the quinoa. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
