Savor the bright and zesty flavors of lemon and garlic that perfectly complement the juicy, pan-seared chicken breast alongside tender roasted asparagus. This dish provides a refreshingly clean, balanced meal with a delightful mix of savory and citrus notes ideal for a satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1.5 cups Fresh Asparagus
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Preheat a skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Mince the garlic and zest half a lemon, then set aside the garlic and lemon zest.
Place the chicken breast in the hot skillet, searing for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and drizzle with lemon juice, then scatter the minced garlic and lemon zest over the top to infuse extra citrus flavor.
Slice the chicken if desired and serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
