Pan-Seared Chicken with Lemon Herb Sauce
Pan-seared chicken breast drizzled with a zesty lemon-garlic sauce, served alongside crisp roasted 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
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides 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 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to rest; in the same skillet, add the trimmed asparagus spears and minced garlic.
Sauté the asparagus for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
Pour the lemon juice into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Plate the warm quinoa and top with the chicken and asparagus, drizzling the remaining pan sauce over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
