Speedy Lemon Herb Chicken
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside fluffy quinoa and crisp-tender asparagus for a vibrant, nutrient-dense meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz Chicken breast
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 medium Lemon
1 cup Asparagus
0.5 cup Cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and hot.
Carefully place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the center is no longer pink.
During the final 4 minutes of cooking the chicken, add the asparagus spears to the skillet and sauté them in the pan juices until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
Zest half of the lemon over the chicken, then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of both halves into the skillet to deglaze the pan.
Remove from heat and serve the chicken and asparagus immediately over a bed of warm, fluffy cooked quinoa, drizzling any remaining pan sauce over the top.
