Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright and zesty flavors of this lemon-garlic chicken, pan-seared to a perfect golden brown and paired with tender roasted asparagus spears. The dish is refreshingly light yet satisfying, offering a well-balanced mix of protein and vibrant, garden-fresh flavors.
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.
