INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic Cloves
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, and a teaspoon of olive oil.
Marinate the chicken breast in the lemon garlic mixture for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy at the tips.
Warm the cooked quinoa if needed. Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus and serve with a side of quinoa for a balanced, protein-rich meal.
