INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Asparagus
2 cloves Garlic
1 medium Lemon
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half the lemon with minced garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
After searing, add the garlic-lemon mixture to the pan and spoon over the chicken for added flavor.
Meanwhile, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and squeeze the remaining lemon juice evenly over them.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Return the chicken to the skillet if it has cooled slightly and allow it to finish cooking for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus, drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top, and serve warm.
