Pan-Seared Chicken with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken breast seasoned with aromatic oregano served with crisp-tender roasted asparagus and a bright squeeze of fresh lemon.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
1.5 cups Asparagus
0.5 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 clove Garlic
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Dried oregano
0.5 whole Lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and place them on the baking sheet, drizzling with half of the olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Roast the asparagus for 12 to 15 minutes until they are crisp-tender and slightly charred at the tips.
While the vegetables roast, season the chicken breast on both sides with the remaining sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add the minced garlic to the pan during the final minute of cooking, stirring constantly to release its aroma without browning it too deeply.
Serve the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over everything.
