Speedy Lemon Herb Chicken
Sautéed chicken breast seasoned with zesty lemon and fresh herbs, served over fluffy quinoa alongside crisp-tender asparagus for a bright and refreshing meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp fresh thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the last 3 minutes of cooking the chicken, add the minced garlic and asparagus spears to the pan, sautéing until the asparagus is crisp-tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh thyme, tossing well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the bright sauce.
Serve the lemon herb chicken and asparagus immediately over the warm cooked quinoa.
