INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
8 spears Asparagus
0.25 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Prepare the chicken by patting it dry. Rub both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Zest the lemon over the chicken and drizzle a small amount of olive oil to help the seasonings adhere.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the asparagus spears with the remaining olive oil, the rest of the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly crispy.
Plate the pan-seared chicken alongside the roasted asparagus. Optionally, drizzle any pan juices or extra lemon juice over the asparagus for additional flavor.
