INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic (from 2 cloves), juice from 1/2 lemon, and olive oil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Pour half of the garlic-lemon mixture over the chicken while it cooks to enhance the flavor.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with a little salt, pepper, and the remaining garlic-lemon mixture on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and serve it alongside the roasted asparagus.
Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired and enjoy your healthy and zesty meal.
