INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place in a bowl. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast, and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden on the outside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Squeeze in the lemon juice over the chicken and allow it to simmer for another minute, letting the flavors meld.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, and drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top. Serve warm and enjoy!
