INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
0.75 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for pasta)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 bunch Asparagus (6 spears)
1 medium Lemon
1 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
For the pasta, combine 0.75 cup of cooked whole wheat pasta in a bowl. Zest and juice the lemon, then add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh herbs onto the pasta. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and toss to coat evenly. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
Slice the rested chicken breast and serve it atop or alongside the lemon herb pasta with roasted asparagus on the side.
Enjoy your vibrant, nutrient-packed meal!
