Crispy Lemon-Herb Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the crisp exterior and juicy interior of a perfectly pan-seared chicken breast, enhanced with a refreshing burst of lemon and fresh herbs. Paired with tender roasted asparagus splashed with olive oil, this dish offers a delightful balance of textures and flavors that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
3 tsp Olive Oil
Juice of 1 Lemon
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Thyme and Parsley)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Drizzle a portion of the olive oil (about 2 tsp) into a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top for added brightness.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
