Golden Pan-Seared Chicken with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a vibrant lemon-garlic glaze, served over fluffy quinoa and crisp roasted asparagus for a bright and zesty meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 whole lemon
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat 0.5 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus spears with the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a separate pan over medium heat until tender-crisp.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for 3 minutes; in the same skillet, add the minced garlic and the juice from the lemon, scraping up any browned bits.
Slice the chicken and serve it over the warm cooked quinoa with the asparagus on the side, drizzling the lemon-garlic pan sauce over the top.
