INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Garlic cloves
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to create a marinade. Rub the mixture over the chicken and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the asparagus.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with a little olive oil if desired, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it’s nicely golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced chicken with a side of roasted asparagus, and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for added flavor.
