Crispy Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a bright lemon-garlic glaze and served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 cup quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 medium lemon
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
During the last 3 minutes of chicken cooking time, add the asparagus spears and minced garlic to the pan, sautéing until the asparagus is bright green and tender.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to create a light glaze.
Serve the chicken and asparagus over the warm cooked quinoa and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
