Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Golden pan-seared chicken breasts infused with zesty lemon and earthy oregano, served with snap-crisp roasted asparagus and a velvety mashed sweet potato.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz chicken breast
1 bunch asparagus
1 medium sweet potato
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then place in a pot of boiling water for 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss on the baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of the sea salt.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with the dried oregano, garlic powder, remaining sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet during the final minute of cooking, spooning the juices over the chicken.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them until smooth, then serve alongside the chicken and roasted asparagus.
