Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Tender chicken breast pan-seared until golden and finished with a bright lemon-garlic glaze, served alongside crisp asparagus and fluffy quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
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.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Pour the lemon juice into the pan to deglaze, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
Slice the chicken and serve it over a bed of warm quinoa, arranging the asparagus on the side and drizzling the remaining pan juices over the top.
