Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic oregano and garlic, served alongside vibrant steamed broccoli finished with a bright lemon zest.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
1.5 cups Broccoli florets
2 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally to ensure even thickness for quick searing.
Season both sides of the chicken evenly with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest on a plate.
Add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then toss in the broccoli florets and water.
Immediately cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid to steam the broccoli for 3 minutes until it is tender-crisp.
Remove the lid, stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, and serve the chicken alongside the zesty broccoli.
