INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
8 spears Asparagus
1.5 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Lemon (zested and juiced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the olive oil.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
In a mixing bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of lemon juice.
Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer, and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, mix the cooked quinoa with a bit of lemon zest and a dash of salt.
Minced garlic can be sprinkled over the chicken once plated for an extra punch of flavor.
Plate the pan-seared chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa. Garnish with extra lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.
