Quick Lemon Herb Chicken Skillet
Pan-seared chicken breast simmered in a bright lemon-garlic sauce with crisp-tender asparagus for a refreshing and zesty weeknight meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 cup Asparagus spears
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Dried oregano
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears, sautéing for 3 to 4 minutes until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender.
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and zest, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet, tossing briefly to coat in the lemon sauce.
Serve the chicken and asparagus immediately over a bed of warm cooked quinoa.
