INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cups asparagus

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp dried thyme

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

0.5 tsp lemon zest

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and finely mince the garlic clove.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 4

  Add the chicken breast to the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside is golden brown.

• 5

  Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate to rest.

• 6

  In the same skillet, add the asparagus and minced garlic, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and bright green.

• 7

  Turn off the heat, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

• 8

  Slice the chicken and serve immediately alongside the asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
