INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (170 g)
1 cup Asparagus (134 g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (13.5 g)
2 cloves Garlic (6 g)
1 medium Lemon (58 g)
1/2 tsp Salt (3 g)
1/2 tsp Black Pepper (1.2 g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Trim the asparagus ends and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with half of the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Place the asparagus in the oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
While the asparagus roasts, pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels.
Mince the garlic and zest half of the lemon. Then, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the chicken.
Season the chicken with minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast.
Sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until it is golden brown on the outside and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the pan-seared chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, garnishing with a little extra lemon juice if desired.
