Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
A vibrant, flavorful dish featuring tender lemon garlic chicken tossed with whole wheat pasta, complemented by perfectly roasted asparagus. The bright, zesty lemon paired with fragrant garlic creates a delightful medley that's both healthy and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Trim the asparagus and toss with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden on the outside.
While the chicken and asparagus are cooking, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve a small amount of cooking water.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. In the same skillet, add the juice of 1/2 lemon and toss in the cooked pasta to combine with the flavorful pan drippings. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to create a light sauce.
Gently toss the sliced chicken with the pasta. Plate the pasta and top with roasted asparagus.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice over the dish and serve warm.
