INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) to roast the asparagus.
Trim the asparagus ends and toss them with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken in the last minute of cooking, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Plate the chicken breast with a side of roasted asparagus, drizzle any leftover pan juices over the top, and add extra lemon wedges if desired.
