INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
90 grams Asparagus
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
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. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice and zest from the half lemon, minced garlic, and chopped fresh herbs.
Brush the chicken thoroughly with the lemon herb mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Place the chicken on the baking sheet and arrange the asparagus spears around it. Drizzle any remaining herb mixture over the asparagus.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender with a slight crisp on the tips.
For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully so the chicken does not burn.
Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with the roasted asparagus.
