INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
8 spears Asparagus (~134g)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (~13.5g)
1/2 Lemon (~30g)
2 cloves Garlic (~6g)
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and lay them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and lightly crisp.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden.
Flip the chicken and add minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice to the pan. Continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Slice if desired, and drizzle with additional lemon juice.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and enjoy your flavorful, nutrient-packed meal.
