Enjoy a bright and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breast seared to perfection with a zesty lemon garlic sauce and paired with crisp, roasted asparagus. This dish delivers a delightful mix of savory and citrus notes, making every bite refreshing and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (approx 140g)
1 cup Asparagus (approx 134g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (approx 13.5g)
1/2 medium Lemon (juice)
2 Garlic Cloves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat half of the olive oil (or heat the entire tablespoon if preferred) in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Reduce heat if necessary and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
In the last minute of the chicken cooking, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Plate the chicken and roasted asparagus together, and serve immediately.
