INGREDIENTS
2 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (200g total)
1 cup cooked Brown Rice (from ~1/3 cup uncooked, 195g)
1 cup Asparagus (134g)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chicken thighs to the pan and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, mince the garlic cloves.
In a separate pan, lightly sauté the minced garlic in a splash of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute until fragrant, then add the asparagus. Sauté the asparagus for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the brown rice according to package instructions if not already done, or reheat the pre-cooked rice.
Plate the dish by serving a bed of brown rice topped with the chicken thighs and garlic asparagus on the side. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
