Crispy Lemon-Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus and Quinoa
Enjoy a bright and flavorful dish with perfectly seasoned crispy chicken, roasted asparagus spears, and a side of fluffy quinoa. The zesty notes of lemon and fresh herbs bring the meal to life, creating a satisfying and balanced plate that's both nourishing and delicious.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 medium Lemon wedge
2 cloves Garlic
2 tablespoons Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, season with a pinch of salt, and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the mixed fresh herbs. Mince the garlic and zest half of the lemon over the chicken for extra flavor.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until a crispy golden crust forms. Finish cooking by reducing the heat and covering the pan for another 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
In a small pot, warm the cooked quinoa if desired. Squeeze the juice of the lemon wedge over the quinoa and chicken for a bright finish.
Serve the crispy lemon-herb chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and a side of quinoa. Enjoy while hot!
