Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a bright, zesty plate featuring tender chicken breast delicately infused with lemon and garlic, perfectly paired with crisp roasted asparagus and a small serving of quinoa to round out the meal. The flavors meld beautifully while keeping the dish light and refreshing, ideal for a balanced dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4.75 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic (from 2 cloves), and a pinch of salt to create a marinade.
Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes while you preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add half of the olive oil (about 0.75 tsp) to the skillet. Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and let rest.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if needed and plate a serving alongside the chicken and asparagus.
Drizzle any remaining lemon garlic marinade over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor before serving.
