PREPARATION

1
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest on a plate.
5
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and snap-tender.
6
Zest the lemon over the asparagus, then squeeze the juice of the half lemon over the vegetables and the rested chicken.
7
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and place it on a plate, topping it with the chicken and the zesty asparagus.
