Crispy Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Savor the zesty brightness of lemon and the aromatic allure of garlic paired with perfectly seared chicken and tender, roasted asparagus. This dish offers a delightful crunch from the crispy skin and a refreshingly vibrant finish, making it a balanced and satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1.5 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Zest and juice half a lemon, and mince one garlic clove.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast skin-side down to achieve a crispy exterior.
Allow the chicken to sear undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms. Flip the chicken, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic, and drizzle the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil.
Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.
While the chicken is resting, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle any pan juices over the top. Enjoy your flavorful and balanced meal!
