INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1.5 cups Asparagus (201g)
1/2 Lemon
1 Garlic clove
2 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Finely mince the garlic and zest half a lemon, then squeeze the lemon juice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp of olive oil.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden.
Flip the chicken, add the minced garlic to the pan, and drizzle with lemon juice and the remaining olive oil. Continue to cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (approximately 5-6 more minutes).
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon zest, then spread them on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
Plate the chicken and top with any remaining pan juices. Serve alongside the roasted asparagus with an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
