Enjoy a zesty and savory plate featuring pan-seared lemon-garlic chicken paired with crispy roasted broccoli. This dish delivers a bright burst of citrus and a heartwarming garlic aroma, making for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
2 cups Broccoli
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for broccoli)
1 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the broccoli and preheat a skillet over medium-high heat for the chicken.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
In the hot skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
While the chicken is searing, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli evenly on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet with broccoli in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges become crispy.
Mince the garlic and zest the lemon. Once the chicken is nearly cooked through, add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, then squeeze in the juice of one lemon and sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken.
Continue cooking the chicken for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flavors meld together.
Serve the pan-seared lemon-garlic chicken alongside the crispy roasted broccoli for a balanced and flavorful meal.
