Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor tender pan-seared chicken breast enhanced with a zesty lemon garlic marinade, perfectly paired with roasted asparagus spears for a light yet satisfying meal that excites your palate with every bite.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
2 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 lemon, minced garlic, and 1 tsp olive oil. Pour half of this mixture over the chicken and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Toss them in a bowl with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Once the chicken is nearly done, add the asparagus to the pan or roast them in a separate oven at 425°F for about 10 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Plate the chicken breast and arrange the asparagus alongside. Optionally drizzle any leftover pan juices and garnish with a little extra lemon zest before serving.
