Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a bright and zesty dinner featuring tender, pan-seared chicken infused with garlic and fresh lemon, paired with crisp roasted asparagus drizzled in a hint of olive oil and a touch of butter. This dish balances delightful flavors with a satisfying, clean meal that nourishes without excess.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 medium Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Adjust the time if needed based on thickness.
While the chicken is cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Toss them in a bowl with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the butter; if desired, a light drizzle of olive oil can be added.
Roast the asparagus under a broiler or in a separate hot pan for about 5-6 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Mince the garlic and zest the lemon, then squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken during the final minute of cooking to infuse bright flavor, adding the garlic and lemon zest as well.
Plate the chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of lemon, garlic, and fresh, savory tones.
