Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with Roasted Asparagus
Golden pan-seared chicken breast served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus and a zesty squeeze of lemon for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 lb asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.13 tsp red pepper flakes
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
On a large baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and the red pepper flakes.
Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the asparagus is roasting, season the chicken breast evenly with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 0.5 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 3 minutes to lock in the juices.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and drizzle everything with fresh lemon juice before serving.
