Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Golden pan-seared chicken breast served with tender roasted asparagus and a bright squeeze of lemon for a zesty finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 bunch asparagus
1.5 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.5 whole lemon
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss them with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper on the baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking to infuse the oil with aroma without burning.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
