Pan-Seared Chicken with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared chicken breast drizzled with a bright lemon-herb sauce and served over fluffy quinoa with crisp-tender asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
1 tbsp Lemon juice
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest for 5 minutes; in the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until they are vibrant green and slightly charred.
Deglaze the pan by stirring in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to create a light, flavorful sauce.
Place the warm cooked quinoa on a plate, top with the chicken and asparagus, and pour the lemon-herb pan sauce over the entire dish before serving.
