INGREDIENTS
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (approx 200g total)
150g asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they develop a crispy, golden-brown exterior and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus, toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the asparagus in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
During the last few minutes of cooking the chicken, drizzle lemon juice over the thighs and sprinkle with lemon zest to infuse them with a bright, zesty flavor.
Once everything is cooked, plate the chicken thighs alongside the roasted asparagus. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful, balanced meal.
