Enjoy a zesty, flavorful dinner featuring perfectly pan-seared chicken breast infused with lemon and garlic alongside tender roasted asparagus. This vibrant dish offers a delightful balance of bright citrus notes, savory garlic, and the natural sweetness of asparagus for a wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of half a lemon with crushed garlic.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Once the chicken is nearly done, brush it with the lemon garlic mixture and let it cook for an additional minute for the flavors to meld.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and drizzle any remaining lemon garlic sauce over the top.
