Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor the flavors of zesty lemon and aromatic garlic paired with perfectly pan-seared chicken, tender roasted asparagus, and a side of fluffy quinoa. This balanced meal marries tangy and savory notes for a refreshing, satisfying dinner experience.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Rinse and trim the asparagus, then toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Mince the garlic and zest half a lemon, reserving the juice as well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked.
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the pan, allowing the flavors to meld with the chicken.
Warm the pre-cooked quinoa if needed, and squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken just before removing it from the skillet.
Plate the quinoa as a base, top with the pan-seared chicken, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal!
