Lemon Herb Pan-Seared Chicken
Chicken breast pan-seared until golden and juicy, served with zesty lemon-infused quinoa and crisp-tender roasted asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus spears with a splash of water and microwave for 2 minutes or lightly sauté in a separate pan until crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, fluff the warm cooked quinoa and stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing.
Plate the lemon quinoa, top with the sliced chicken, and serve the asparagus on the side.
