Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Peel and medium-dice the beets.
- Remove the woody ends of the asparagus. In a medium bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Zest and quarter the lemon.
Roast the vegetables
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the beets with a drizzle of oil, ¼ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, 11 to 14 min., until partially cooked.
- Flip and add the asparagus. Roast, 9 to 11 min., until the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle with the lemon zest.
Cook the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; rub with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through.
Make the sauce
- Reduce the pan of chicken to medium.
- Add 2 tbsp butter, ⅓ cup water (double both for 4 portions), the peas, demi-glace and juice of ½ the lemon wedges.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 3 min., until the peas are warmed through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
Plate your dish
- Divide the vegetables between your plates.
- Top with the chicken (slice beforehand if desired) and peas.
- Spoon the sauce over.
- Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
