Lemon Pepper Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Tender chicken breast pan-seared with zesty lemon and cracked black pepper, served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus for a bright and refreshing meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp lemon zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the asparagus with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are crisp-tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Deglaze the skillet with lemon juice, then plate the chicken over quinoa with asparagus and top with fresh zest.
