Lemon Herb Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside crisp-tender roasted asparagus for a bright and refreshing midday meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon zest
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Snap the woody ends off the asparagus spears and toss them on the sheet with 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and have a light, savory char.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 8 minutes per side, ensuring the center is no longer pink and reaches 165°F.
Turn off the heat and immediately pour the fresh lemon juice over the chicken, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and garnish with the fresh lemon zest for a vibrant finish.
