Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken
Enjoy a bright and savory pan-seared chicken breast infused with fresh lemon and garlic, served alongside tender steamed broccoli. This dish offers a burst of citrus and herbaceous flavors that perfectly complement the juicy chicken, making it an ideal light yet satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
Zest the lemon and then cut it in half to extract the juice; set both aside.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chicken breast to the pan and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon juice to the pan to infuse the flavors.
Optionally, add the lemon zest over the chicken just before removing from the pan.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the steamed broccoli until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Plate the chicken alongside the steamed broccoli and serve immediately.
