INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F for the asparagus and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken breast dry, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, add minced garlic to the skillet and squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F, remove it from the heat.
Plate the pan-seared chicken with a serving of roasted asparagus, and garnish with a lemon wedge if desired.
