Lemon Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Asparagus
Savor a dish that beautifully balances protein-packed chicken with whole wheat pasta and tender roasted asparagus, all kissed with a bright lemon garlic sauce. This dish offers a harmonious blend of tangy citrus, aromatic garlic, and the satisfying texture of roasted asparagus that elevates a wholesome dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
6 asparagus spears
0.5 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 garlic clove
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cooked whole wheat pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic olive oil.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Arrange the pasta on a plate, top with the sliced chicken, and add the roasted asparagus on the side.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright, tangy flavors of this balanced meal.
