Savor a bright and savory dish featuring tender lemon garlic chicken paired with crispy baked zucchini fries.

INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 tsp Olive Oil (for chicken)
1 medium Zucchini
0.5 tbsp Olive Oil (for zucchini fries)
1 medium Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Salt (pinch)
Black Pepper (pinch)
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Squeeze half the lemon over the chicken during the last minute of cooking.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the zucchini into fry-like strips. In a bowl, toss zucchini with 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Spread the zucchini on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy on the edges.
Finish by squeezing the remaining lemon juice over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
Plate the chicken with a side of crispy baked zucchini fries and serve immediately.
