INGREDIENTS
8 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
Dash of Salt & Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Using a fork, lightly score the surface to help the seasoning penetrate and get extra crispness during cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, juice from half a lemon, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the chicken breast generously with the lemon herb mixture on both sides.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange asparagus around the chicken and drizzle any remaining marinade over the asparagus.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender with a slight char.
Optionally, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispiness on the chicken skin if desired.
Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve alongside the roasted asparagus.
