Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken
A vibrant, tangy chicken dish where succulent chicken breast is pan-seared to perfection with a burst of lemon and garlic, finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Served alongside tender steamed broccoli, this meal is a refreshing balance of lean protein and crisp veggies.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 cup Broccoli
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring to coat the chicken evenly without burning the garlic.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, allowing the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until it is tender yet still vibrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the chicken alongside the steamed broccoli and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top before serving.
