INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While marinating, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the asparagus.
Toss the asparagus with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out evenly on the baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and plate alongside the roasted asparagus. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
