INGREDIENTS
1 piece Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh (150g)
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Lemon (zested and juiced)
1 Garlic Clove
1 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme (chopped)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 cup Asparagus (approx. 5 spears, 134g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken thigh in a shallow dish and pour half of the lemon herb marinade over it, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).
While the chicken is marinating, trim the tough ends off the asparagus and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a little extra olive oil (if desired), and season with salt and pepper.
Once marinated, place the chicken thigh on the baking sheet with the asparagus.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the asparagus halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a crispy edge, and the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve the chicken thigh alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
