INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Fresh Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Half Lemon (juice and zest)
2 Garlic Cloves
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the olive oil and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
While the chicken is searing, trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy on the tips.
After searing, remove the chicken from the skillet. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and add minced garlic (from about 2 cloves) directly onto the chicken for added flavor.
Place the chicken in the oven (either on the same baking sheet or a separate one) and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and its internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with a bit of fresh lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus.
