INGREDIENTS
1 piece (5 oz) Chicken Breast (~142g)
1 whole Lemon (~58g)
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Olive Oil (for marinade)
1 tsp Olive Oil (for vegetables)
100g Asparagus Spears
100g Cherry Tomatoes
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, squeeze the lemon juice and add two minced garlic cloves, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tsp of olive oil to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the lemon-garlic marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and the tomatoes start to blister.
While the vegetables roast, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast.
Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is crispy and the interior reaches an appropriate cooked temperature.
Plate the crispy lemon-garlic chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes, and garnish with a light drizzle of any remaining marinade if desired.
