INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 Lemon (juice and zest)
1 tsp Dried Thyme
1 tsp Dried Rosemary
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs, dried thyme, dried rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pat dry the chicken breast and lightly coat it with fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Then press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to create a crispy coating.
Arrange the breadcrumb-coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Toss the asparagus in a small bowl with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Lay them on the same or a separate baking sheet.
Place both the chicken and asparagus in the oven. Roast the asparagus for about 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly crisp and bake the chicken for 18-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Optional: In the final minutes, zest the remaining lemon over the chicken for an extra burst of citrus aroma.
Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve together with the roasted asparagus.
