INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups Asparagus
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (thyme or parsley)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut into 1-2 inch pieces.
In a separate pan, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the asparagus to the garlic, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
Once the chicken is done, remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Let it rest for a minute.
Plate the chicken alongside the garlic asparagus, garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
