INGREDIENTS
1 piece Chicken Thigh (200g, skinless, boneless)
8 spears Asparagus (84g)
2 teaspoons Olive Oil (10g)
1/4 Lemon (zest & juice, ~30g)
1 clove Garlic
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken thigh dry and season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, lemon zest, and chopped thyme leaves.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken thigh, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden, crispy crust forms.
Flip the chicken and reduce heat to medium; continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (approximately 6-8 minutes).
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F.
Toss the asparagus spears with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Plate the chicken thigh alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzle with any remaining pan juices and a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and serve immediately.
