Creamy Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast simmered in a velvety lemon-herb coconut sauce, served over fluffy quinoa with a side of crisp roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with 1 tsp of olive oil and half of the salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Season the chicken breast evenly with the dried oregano and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside; reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and lemon juice, whisking gently to deglaze the pan and simmering for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the creamy sauce, then serve immediately over the cooked quinoa with the roasted asparagus and a garnish of fresh parsley.
