Enjoy a vibrant plate of crisp, pan-seared chicken infused with fresh lemon and garlic, perfectly paired with tender roasted asparagus. This dish delivers bright, zesty flavors with a satisfying crunch and is ideal for a balanced, health-conscious dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
8 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 whole Lemon
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, pound the chicken breast to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring the chicken is cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken and add lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, and garnish with any remaining lemon zest if desired.
