Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a bright lemon-garlic glaze, served over fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
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 5-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest; in the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and sauté for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Stir in the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, tossing the asparagus to coat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Plate the cooked quinoa, top with the pan-seared chicken and asparagus, then drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
