Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken Breast
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with bright lemon and herbs, served over fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried rosemary
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
While the chicken cooks, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus for 4 to 5 minutes until it is crisp-tender and vibrant green.
In the final 2 minutes of cooking the chicken, add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan, spooning the juices over the meat.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and place it on a plate; top with the chicken and serve the asparagus alongside, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
