INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
2 cloves Garlic
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the pan and let it sauté briefly until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Squeeze the juice of ½ lemon over the chicken, letting the citrus flavor meld with the garlic and chicken juices.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and toss them in the leftover oil and seasonings. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the asparagus are tender yet crisp.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
