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

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  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.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred at the tips.

• 4

  While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

• 5

  Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 6

  Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the last minute of cooking to infuse the oil with aroma without burning.

• 8

  Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a fresh squeeze of lemon juice.
