INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 cup asparagus

0.5 cup cooked quinoa

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 whole lemon

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper directly on the baking sheet.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the dried oregano, remaining sea salt, and black pepper.

• 5

  Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

• 6

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.

• 7

  In the final minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and a fresh squeeze of lemon juice to the pan, spooning the juices over the chicken.

• 8

  Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and warm quinoa, garnishing with extra lemon zest if desired.
