Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor the vibrant flavors of tender lemon garlic chicken paired with crisp roasted asparagus and a side of fluffy quinoa. The bright citrus notes contrast beautifully with the savory chicken, while the quinoa adds a hearty touch to round out this balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and nicely browned.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and minced garlic to create a zesty sauce. Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the lemon garlic sauce over the chicken in the pan, allowing it to warm and infuse the chicken with flavor.
Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. For this recipe, use 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa as a side.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and quinoa. Serve immediately while warm.
