INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
100g Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the asparagus and toss with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking tray.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the chicken breast dry. In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1/4 lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried thyme, and the remaining olive oil.
Coat the chicken breast with the lemon herb marinade. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until a crispy golden crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed and plate it alongside the roasted asparagus and crispy chicken.
Finish the dish with an extra squeeze of lemon juice and a garnish of fresh parsley if desired.
