Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a vibrant lemon-garlic glaze and served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
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 to ensure a perfect sear, then season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until the exterior is beautifully golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan to rest; in the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Deglaze the pan by stirring in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom to form a light sauce.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and plate it alongside the chicken and asparagus, drizzling the zesty pan sauce over the top and garnishing with fresh parsley.
