This dish strikes a balance between savory and zesty, with a crunch that complements the natural earthiness of roasted vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Lemon Pepper Seasoning to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Brush it lightly with half of the olive oil and season generously with lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder.
In a bowl, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, a drizzle of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt if desired.
Place the seasoned chicken breast on the baking sheet. Arrange the asparagus around the chicken, ensuring they are spread out for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, turning the asparagus halfway through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and develop a crispy exterior.
Once removed from the oven, drizzle the chicken with the remaining lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest on top.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving alongside the roasted asparagus.
