Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with garlic and herbs, served over fluffy quinoa and snap-tender asparagus with a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
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 6-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest; add the minced garlic and asparagus to the same skillet.
Sauté the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp, then stir in the lemon juice and zest to deglaze.
Plate the warm cooked quinoa, top with the sautéed asparagus and sliced chicken, then garnish with fresh parsley.
