INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 cups Broccoli
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
3 cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, minced garlic (from the 3 cloves), and olive oil to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade, ensuring even coverage. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the broccoli with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the broccoli evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted broccoli. Drizzle any remaining pan juices and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
