Instructions
Creating Lemon Asparagus Chicken is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Preheat Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of olive oil if necessary.
3. Cook Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade and place it in the heated skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
4. Add Asparagus: Once the chicken is cooked, add the trimmed asparagus to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
5. Serve: Transfer the chicken and asparagus to a serving platter, drizzle with any remaining marinade, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating a delicious Lemon Asparagus Chicken dish with ease.
