INGREDIENTS
7 oz Chicken Thighs, boneless & skinless
1 cup Asparagus
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the asparagus.
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down (if skin-on) or presentation side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the chicken thighs and drizzle half of the lemon garlic mixture over them. Lower the heat slightly and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Meanwhile, toss the asparagus with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Plate the chicken thighs alongside the roasted asparagus, and drizzle any remaining lemon garlic sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
