INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
5 spears Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the asparagus and place on a baking sheet, drizzle with half the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.
In the last couple of minutes of cooking, add minced garlic to the pan, allowing it to infuse the chicken with flavor.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over it, then let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the cooked whole wheat pasta, slice the chicken breast, and arrange alongside the roasted asparagus.
Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice, and if desired, a light sprinkle of fresh herbs. Enjoy your balanced meal!
