Pan-Seared Chicken with Lemon-Herb Sauce
Pan-seared chicken breast drizzled with a bright lemon-herb reduction, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant and zesty meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.75 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley
1 cup asparagus spears
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt and black pepper to ensure every bite is flavorful.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and tent loosely with foil to rest, allowing the juices to redistribute.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice to deglaze the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom.
Add the trimmed asparagus spears to the pan and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley, then return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet, spooning the zesty sauce over the top before serving.
