Description

This Lemon Pepper Chicken is marinated in a zesty blend of lemon juice, garlic, and freshly cracked black pepper, then pan-seared to golden perfection and finished with a buttery, herb-infused sauce. Served alongside creamy orzo, which is simmered with Parmesan and garlic, the dish is elevated with freshly chopped asparagus mixed throughout for a vibrant, fresh contrast. Balancing bright citrus flavors with rich, comforting textures, this meal is a perfect blend of indulgence and freshness.
