Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken Cutlets
Pan-seared chicken cutlets infused with bright lemon and fragrant herbs, served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken cutlets in the skillet and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, steam or lightly sauté the asparagus spears in a separate pan until they are vibrant green and crisp-tender.
Reduce the skillet heat to low; add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, tossing the chicken to coat thoroughly in the citrus pan sauce.
Plate the chicken over the warm cooked quinoa and serve alongside the prepared asparagus.
