Lemon Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the bright zest of lemon and the aromatic punch of garlic paired with tender pan-seared chicken, complemented by crisp roasted asparagus. This balanced dish combines lean protein with nutrient-rich veggies and healthy fats, making it a light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Fresh Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil (for chicken)
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil (for asparagus)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/2 Lemon (zested and juiced)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with the juice and zest of half a lemon.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breast and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy on the tips.
Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle the garlic-lemon mixture over the chicken in the skillet and let it warm for a minute to meld the flavors.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, and serve immediately.
