INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
8 Asparagus Spears
1/2 Lemon
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Garlic clove
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Rosemary & Thyme)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, combine the juice of 1/2 lemon, olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a plate or shallow dish and pour half of the lemon-herb mixture over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, trim the woody ends from the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining lemon-herb mixture, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then reduce heat and cover to cook through (total cooking time about 8-10 minutes) or finish in the oven if preferred.
Once both the chicken and asparagus are cooked, plate them together and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.
