Quick Lemon Herb Chicken with Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast and crisp asparagus finished with a bright lemon-garlic butter sauce for a zesty and refreshing weeknight dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 cups asparagus
0.5 tbsp olive oil
0.5 tbsp ghee
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly 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 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the ghee to the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken.
Add the trimmed asparagus and minced garlic to the pan, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and vibrant green.
Whisk in the lemon zest and lemon juice, then return the chicken to the pan for 1 minute to coat everything in the bright sauce before serving.
