Zesty Lemon-Herb Pan-Seared Chicken
Golden pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
2 cloves Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, steam the asparagus for 4 to 5 minutes until it is bright green and crisp-tender.
During the last 2 minutes of chicken cooking, add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan, spooning the juices over the meat.
Fluff the pre-cooked quinoa and plate it alongside the asparagus.
Slice the chicken and serve it over the quinoa, garnished with fresh parsley and any remaining pan sauce.
