Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and garlic in this delicious pan-seared chicken paired with perfectly roasted asparagus. This dish marries tender, juicy chicken with crisp, lightly caramelized asparagus, making for a delightful and balanced meal ideal for a wholesome dinner experience.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1/2 Lemon (juice)
Pinch Salt
Dash Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F to roast the asparagus.
Trim the ends of the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil over the asparagus and season with a pinch of salt and dash of black pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus is roasting, pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
In the final minute of cooking, add the garlic (minced or whole lightly crushed) to the pan and squeeze the juice from half a lemon over the chicken, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Serve immediately.
