Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a bright lemon-garlic glaze, served over fluffy quinoa and tender charred asparagus for a vibrant, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 cup asparagus
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and mince the garlic.
During the last 4 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus and garlic to the pan, sautéing until the asparagus is tender-crisp and slightly charred.
Squeeze the juice of the half lemon over the chicken and vegetables to deglaze the pan and create a light sauce.
Serve the chicken and asparagus over the warm, cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
