Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a vibrant lemon-garlic glaze, served over fluffy quinoa and tender roasted asparagus for a bright, satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
In the same skillet, add the asparagus spears and halved cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the vegetables, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Plate the warm cooked quinoa and top with the sautéed vegetables and the sliced pan-seared chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
