Lemon-Garlic Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Fluffy Quinoa
Savor a bright and flavorful dish featuring tender pan-seared chicken infused with lemon and garlic, paired with perfectly roasted asparagus and a side of light, fluffy quinoa. This meal brings together vibrancy and balance for a satisfying dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F to roast the asparagus and prepare a baking tray with a light coating of olive oil.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and arrange them on the baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 12-15 minutes until tender.
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, minced garlic (reserve a small pinch for later if desired), and drizzle with lemon juice.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, warm the pre-cooked quinoa in a small saucepan or microwave, fluffing with a fork.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and a serving of fluffy quinoa. Optionally drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the top for brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
