INGREDIENTS
6 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
1 Tbsp Olive Oil (Marinade)
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 tsp Dried Herb Mix (Thyme, Oregano)
8 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil (For Asparagus)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and dried herb mix. Add a little lemon zest if desired for extra brightness.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
After marinating, evenly coat the chicken with whole wheat breadcrumbs, pressing them lightly onto the surface to adhere.
Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the asparagus spears, then toss them in 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Lay them out on the same or a separate baking tray.
Bake the chicken and asparagus in the preheated oven. Roast the asparagus for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving alongside the roasted asparagus.
