INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 bunch Asparagus (approx. 8 spears)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breast, then season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Finely mince the garlic and zest half of the lemon. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Plate the chicken with the roasted asparagus, and optionally drizzle any pan juices and remaining lemon garlic mixture over the top before serving.
