Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and garlic perfectly paired with tender, pan-seared chicken breast and crisp roasted asparagus. This simple yet elegant dish delivers balanced protein with a punch of freshness and a hint of richness from olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Start by patting the chicken breast dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Zest the lemon and set aside the zest. Slice the lemon in half; squeeze the juice over the chicken.
Mince the garlic cloves finely. In a small bowl, mix the garlic with the lemon juice and olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus in a light drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the garlic lemon mixture over the chicken and sprinkle the reserved lemon zest on top.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
