INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Asparagus (cut)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped fresh herbs. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the chicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with half the olive oil and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and finish cooking in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken bakes, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 10 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
In a pot, prepare whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with minced garlic, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Plate the pasta, slice the chicken breast and arrange it on top, then serve the roasted asparagus on the side.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice if desired.
