Pan-Seared Chicken Thighs with Roasted Asparagus
Pan-seared chicken thighs paired with oven-roasted asparagus and finished with a bright squeeze of lemon for a crisp, vibrant flavor profile.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
1 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 whole lemon
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and trim the tough, woody ends off the asparagus spears.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Heat half of the extra virgin olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, toss the asparagus on a baking sheet with the remaining olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for 10-12 minutes until tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the entire dish.
