Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic in a perfectly pan-seared chicken breast paired with crisp roasted asparagus. The dish balances juicy protein with a hint of citrus and aromatic garlic, making it a satisfying yet light meal perfect for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
During the last minute of cooking the chicken, add the garlic (minced or sliced) to the skillet and sauté briefly until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and let it reduce slightly, creating a light sauce over the chicken.
Once everything is cooked, plate the chicken breast and drizzle over the lemon garlic sauce, then serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
