INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Couscous
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Parsley and Thyme)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, toss the asparagus with the remaining marinade and arrange on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breast for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Prepare the whole wheat couscous as per package instructions, fluffing it with a fork once done.
Plate the chicken breast alongside a serving of couscous and the roasted asparagus. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
