INGREDIENTS
1 piece (200g) Chicken Leg Fillet
150g Asparagus
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pat the chicken leg fillet dry with paper towels. Rub the lemon-herb mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chicken leg fillet, skin side down first, until it develops a crispy, golden exterior (about 3-4 minutes per side).
While the chicken is searing, trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Toss the asparagus in a little extra olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the seared chicken and asparagus on a baking sheet. Transfer both to the preheated oven and roast for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the chicken fillet alongside the roasted asparagus, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
