Crispy Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast with Roasted Broccoli
Savor the bright, zesty flavors of this crispy lemon garlic chicken paired with perfectly roasted broccoli. The chicken is pan-seared to a golden finish with a light, crisp coating from the high-heat technique, while the broccoli is roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and a hint of garlic for an extra burst of flavor. A refreshing squeeze of lemon ties the dish together, making it a satisfying, high-protein meal ideal for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Broccoli
3 tsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Dash of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for roasting the broccoli.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix 1.5 tsp of olive oil with the minced garlic and lemon juice.
Brush the chicken breast on both sides with the lemon garlic mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1.5 tsp olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a crisp, golden crust forms. (The chicken doesn’t need to be fully cooked at this point as it will finish cooking in the oven.)
While the chicken is searing, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and minced garlic if desired. Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet.
After searing, transfer the chicken breast to the baking sheet with the broccoli. Roast everything in the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven, drizzle with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired, and serve immediately.
