Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic paired with succulent chicken breast, seared to perfection and served alongside crisp roasted asparagus. This light yet satisfying dinner brings a burst of freshness and warmth, making it an ideal meal for clean eating and balanced nutrition.
INGREDIENTS
100 grams Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for asparagus drizzle)
120 grams Asparagus
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breast.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breast and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the pan-seared chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy your flavorful, balanced dinner.
