Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the tangy zest of lemon and the aromatic punch of garlic paired with a perfectly seared chicken breast and tender roasted asparagus. This dish strikes a delightful balance of lean protein and vibrant veggies, accentuated with bright lemon flavors and a drizzle of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
1 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Zest the lemon and set aside a little zest. Then, squeeze half of the lemon juice over the chicken.
Mince the garlic, reserving some for the asparagus.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus. Garnish with lemon zest and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
