INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Zest and juice the half lemon; mince the garlic clove.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the olive oil and once shimmering, place the chicken breast in the pan.
Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden, crispy crust forms and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the pan, spooning the aromatic oil over the chicken.
In the meantime, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Finish cooking the chicken in the pan until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Plate the chicken, drizzle with the lemon juice, and serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
