Savor a bright and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and garlic, perfectly paired with crisp roasted asparagus. This dish is ideal for a balanced, light dinner that delivers a satisfying mix of protein and vibrant seasonal vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the chicken breast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast. Sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the meat.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for around 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Plate the sliced chicken breast alongside the roasted asparagus and serve immediately.
