Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Savor the vibrant flavors of lemon and garlic-infused chicken paired with the nutty texture of quinoa and delicate roasted asparagus, creating a balanced and nutritious meal bursting with fresh, zesty accents.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 teaspoons Olive Oil (divided)
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the juice of the lemon, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Marinate the chicken for about 10-15 minutes while you preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
In the preheated skillet, add the marinated chicken and pan-sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Heat the cooked quinoa in a small pot over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm.
Plate the chicken alongside a serving of quinoa and roasted asparagus. Drizzle extra lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
