PREPARATION

1
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
3
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the exterior is deeply golden and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
4
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a clean cutting board for at least 5 minutes to keep the juices locked in.
5
In the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and minced garlic, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender.
6
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the asparagus and stir well to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful browned bits.
7
Slice the rested chicken and serve it alongside the warm cooked quinoa and the zesty lemon-garlic asparagus.
