PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  Mince the garlic and toss it with the asparagus, 0.5 tbsp of the olive oil, and a pinch of the sea salt and black pepper.

  Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed 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.
