Pan-Seared Lemon Garlic Chicken with Roasted Broccoli
Savor the bright flavors of lemon and garlic with tender pan-seared chicken, perfectly complemented by roasted broccoli. The citrusy marinade elevates the chicken, while the roasted broccoli provides a crisp, nutritious side that is both satisfying and wholesome.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170g)
1 cup Broccoli (91g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (13.5g)
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for the broccoli.
In a small bowl, squeeze the juice of the lemon and mince the garlic. Mix in half of the olive oil, and add a pinch of salt and pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the chicken breast dry. Rub the lemon garlic marinade evenly over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the chicken is searing, toss the broccoli with a little extra salt, pepper, and a dash of olive oil if desired, then spread it out on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the broccoli in the preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly charred around the edges.
After searing, reduce the heat slightly and cover the skillet with a lid; let the chicken cook through for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted broccoli and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top. Enjoy your well-balanced, flavorful meal!
