Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic herbs served alongside tender roasted asparagus finished with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
10 medium Asparagus spears asparagus spears
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Drizzle 0.5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus and toss with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast evenly on both sides with the dried oregano and the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 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 60 seconds of cooking, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the chicken to deglaze the pan, and serve immediately with the roasted asparagus.
