INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Coat the chicken breast with the marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F, toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Heat or prepare the cooked quinoa if not served warm.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and a serving of quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
