Savor the bright, zesty flavors of lemon and garlic elevating juicy pan-seared chicken, paired with tender roasted asparagus. This dish delivers a satisfying balance of lean protein and fresh vegetables, making it a delightful and nutritious dinner option.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast (approx 170g)
6 spears Asparagus (approx 90g)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juiced)
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the juice of 1/2 lemon with the minced garlic.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip the chicken and pour the lemon-garlic mixture over it, allowing the flavors to meld as it cooks for another 3-4 minutes.
While the chicken sears, trim the woody ends of the asparagus and toss with a little salt, pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Transfer the asparagus to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Roast the asparagus for about 10 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If needed, finish cooking the chicken in the oven alongside the asparagus for 5 additional minutes.
Plate the chicken breast with a side of roasted asparagus and spoon any remaining pan juices over the top. Enjoy your healthy, zesty dinner!
