Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a clean and vibrant lunch.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
1 cup Asparagus spears
1 tbsp Olive oil
0.25 cup Cooked quinoa
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Lemon zest
1 clove Garlic
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss the asparagus spears with 0.5 tbsp of olive oil, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until the tips are slightly crisp and the stalks are tender.
While the asparagus roasts, season the chicken breast on both sides with the dried oregano and the remaining salt and pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the pan, stirring for 1 minute to coat the chicken in the bright sauce.
Place the warm cooked quinoa on a plate and top with the lemon-herb chicken and roasted asparagus.
