INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Chicken Breast
6 spears Asparagus
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a shallow dish, combine the whole wheat breadcrumbs, fresh chopped parsley, thyme, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Zest half a lemon and add to the breadcrumb mixture. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the chicken breast and gently rub it in.
Dip the chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly on both sides.
Place the coated chicken breast on a lightly greased baking tray.
Arrange the asparagus spears around the chicken. Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and season with a little salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
