INGREDIENTS
1 Chicken Breast (6 oz, ~170g)
8 Asparagus Spears (~134g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (for juice)
1 Garlic Clove
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Finely mince the garlic and zest half of the lemon, then combine with the juice from the half lemon.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms.
While the chicken is cooking, place the asparagus spears on a baking tray. Drizzle lightly with a small amount of olive oil (or use a brush), and season with a pinch of salt.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until tender but still crisp.
During the last minute of searing, spoon the lemon garlic mixture over the chicken to infuse it with bright flavor.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, remove from the skillet. Plate with the roasted asparagus.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavor-packed meal.
