INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 bunch Fresh Asparagus (approx. 6 spears)
1 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the asparagus.
In a small bowl, combine the juice and zest of one lemon, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and extra virgin olive oil.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Brush the lemon garlic mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breast.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until a crispy golden crust forms.
While the chicken is searing, trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a few drops of olive oil if desired.
Place the asparagus on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Once the chicken breast has developed a nice crust, lower the heat to medium and cover the pan to allow the chicken to cook through for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Plate the crispy lemon garlic chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
