INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice from the half lemon. Sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Return the chicken to the pan, coating it with the lemon garlic mixture, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Plate the chicken breast with a side of roasted asparagus. Optionally, garnish with a few extra drops of lemon juice or freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein-packed meal.
