Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a bright lemon glaze, served over fluffy quinoa with charred asparagus and bursting cherry tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.33 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
0.5 whole lemon
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken to a plate and add the trimmed asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic to the same pan.
Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the tomatoes begin to blister.
Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the vegetables and chicken to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Serve the chicken and vegetables over the warm cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
