INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 medium Orange
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of the orange, low sodium soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to form a zesty marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a bowl and pour half of the marinade over it, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, trim the ends of the asparagus and toss them in 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tsp olive oil. Sear the marinated chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle with the remaining marinade (previously reserved) and let it simmer for a minute in the pan to enhance the flavors.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and serve with orange slices if desired for an extra burst of citrus.
Enjoy your healthy, zesty meal!
