“Clean, vibrant, and packed with protein. Juicy chicken and perfectly tender-crisp asparagus in one pan.”
1Ingredients
2Instructions
Season chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F). Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Add asparagus and cook 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Add minced garlic to the asparagus and cook 30 seconds.
Pour in lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the asparagus. Warm together 1 minute, then serve.
Pounding chicken breasts to an even thickness ensures they cook quickly and evenly without drying out on the edges.
