Quick Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served over a bed of fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
0.25 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
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 large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 7 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Flip the chicken, then add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic to the empty spaces in the pan.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken and asparagus, then cover the pan and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced chicken and sautéed asparagus over the warm cooked quinoa, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
