INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Thighs (Skinless, Boneless)
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for Asparagus)
0.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for Chicken Marinade)
2 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1 clove Minced Garlic
1 tsp Mixed Italian Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.5 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of mixed Italian herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and coat them evenly with the lemon herb marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes if time allows.
Meanwhile, trim the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the asparagus, and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the chicken thighs in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, turning once halfway through for even cooking.
While the chicken is baking, roast the asparagus for about 15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Remove both the chicken and asparagus from the oven, plate them together, and serve immediately.
