Tender Lemon-Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served alongside tender roasted asparagus for a bright and vibrant meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 cup asparagus
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with half of the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with dried oregano and lemon zest.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the minced garlic and lemon juice to the skillet in the last minute of cooking, basting the chicken with the pan sauce.
Serve the chicken and roasted asparagus over the warm quinoa for a complete, clean meal.
