Quick Pan-Seared Lemon Herb Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic oregano, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
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 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
During the last 4 minutes of cooking the chicken, 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, tossing the vegetables occasionally until they are vibrant green and tender.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced lemon herb chicken and asparagus over a bed of warm, fluffy cooked quinoa.
