Lemon-Herb Pan-Seared Chicken with Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast finished with a bright lemon-garlic reduction, served with sautéed sweet potato and tender, snappy asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1.5 cups asparagus
1 medium sweet potato
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Dice the sweet potato into half-inch cubes and snap the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
Season the chicken breast on both sides with the sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the sweet potato cubes for 8 minutes until golden and tender.
Push the potatoes to the side of the pan, then add the chicken breast and sear for 5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Toss the asparagus into the pan during the final 4 minutes of cooking to let them soften slightly while maintaining a crisp bite.
Stir in the minced garlic and fresh thyme for 60 seconds until the aroma is released.
Squeeze the juice from the whole lemon over the entire pan and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
