Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a vibrant dish of tender lemon garlic chicken paired with whole wheat pasta and perfectly roasted asparagus. The zesty lemon and fragrant garlic elevate the lean chicken, while the light pasta and crisp asparagus add a refreshing texture, making each bite both nourishing and delightful.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
2 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1 cup Asparagus (approx. 134g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the asparagus and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic in a dash of olive oil until fragrant.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken and let it rest.
Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat pasta in a pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water.
Slice the chicken and toss with the pasta and a bit of roasted asparagus. Squeeze additional lemon juice over the dish, and mix gently to combine, adding reserved pasta water if needed for moisture.
Plate the pasta, arrange roasted asparagus on top, and garnish with the chicken slices. Enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal!
