Crispy Pesto Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Enjoy a delightful twist on your usual chicken dinner with a crispy pesto-coated chicken breast, accompanied by perfectly roasted asparagus. This dish balances tender, savory chicken with the aromatic freshness of basil pesto and the natural crunch of asparagus, creating a vibrant, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 tbsp Basil Pesto
8 spears Asparagus
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus is roasting, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
Cook the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until the exterior is nicely seared and the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is done, transfer it to a plate and spread the basil pesto evenly over the top, ensuring a crisp coating.
Plate the pesto chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
