INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
- Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. 
- Finely mince the garlic and zest the half lemon, then squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken. 
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breast. 
- Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a golden crust. 
- Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. 
- While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the asparagus on a baking tray, drizzle lightly with a bit of olive oil if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes until tender. 
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. 
- Serve the chicken slices alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle any remaining pan juices over top for extra flavor.
