1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

• 3

  Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.

• 4

  Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer it to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.

• 5

  In the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus spears and the minced garlic clove, sautéing for 4 to 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender and shows light char marks.

• 6

  Turn off the heat and immediately toss the asparagus with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley to brighten the flavors.

• 7

  Slice the rested chicken breast into strips and serve it alongside the warm, charred lemon-herb asparagus spears.
