做法

分步操作

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
约 5分钟
2
Prepare the pesto: Combine the fresh basil, parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor.
约 3分钟
3
Pulse the ingredients until roughly chopped, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while the processor is running until a smooth, thick pesto forms. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示： Adjust the consistency with more olive oil if needed for a thinner pesto.
4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： Drying the chicken helps achieve a better sear.
5
Spread about two tablespoons of the prepared pesto evenly over one side of each chicken cutlet.
约 1分钟
6
Arrange the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
约 2分钟
7
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示： A cast iron skillet works great for getting a nice sear.
8
Place the pesto-coated chicken breasts, pesto-side up, into the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
约 4分钟
烹饪提示： Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
9
Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven. Add the baking sheet with the asparagus to the oven as well.
10
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C/165°F) and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
约 12分钟
烹饪提示： Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is safely cooked.
11
Remove from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示： Resting the chicken helps keep it juicy.
12
Serve the pesto chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, with any remaining fresh pesto on the side for drizzling.
