INGREDIENTS
8 oz Chicken Breast
6 Asparagus Spears
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the asparagus spears with the remaining 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
In the last minute of cooking the chicken, add the minced garlic to the pan and let it lightly sauté, then squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken, allowing the flavorful sauce to meld.
Plate the chicken and serve alongside the roasted asparagus. Optionally, drizzle any pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
