Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Crispy Roasted Asparagus
Savor a bright and zesty dish featuring tender pan-seared chicken breast infused with lemon and garlic, paired with perfectly crispy roasted asparagus. The union of tangy citrus and aromatic herbs elevates this simple yet nourishing dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast Fillet
1 bunch Asparagus (approx. 200g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes until crispy on the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, gently pound the chicken breast to an even thickness.
Finely mince the garlic and zest the lemon. Combine the garlic, lemon zest, juice from half the lemon, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the hot skillet. Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
In the last minute of cooking, pour the lemon garlic mixture over the chicken to infuse it with vibrant flavor.
Plate the chicken alongside the crispy roasted asparagus. Garnish with a wedge of lemon if desired and serve immediately.
