Pat the chicken breast dry and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat half of the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and remaining olive oil. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Pour in the lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and coat the garlic.
Return the chicken to the skillet to warm through while absorbing the lemon garlic flavors.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the asparagus with a little olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and spread it on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Plate the chicken alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the chicken, and enjoy.
