INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Chicken Breast
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
6 spears Asparagus
1 medium Lemon (juiced)
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the juice of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Place the marinated chicken breast on another baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Roast the asparagus for about 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.
If desired, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking for an extra crispy finish.
Plate the chicken with a side of roasted asparagus and enjoy your vibrant, protein-packed meal.
