INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Lemon
3 cloves Garlic
0.25 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to roast the asparagus.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half the olive oil, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Finely mince the garlic and zest the lemon. Squeeze half of the lemon juice over the chicken, reserving the rest for later.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms and the chicken is fully cooked.
In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet, letting it infuse the oil and chicken.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
