INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Chicken Breast
1 cup Asparagus
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
Salt & Pepper, to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on a cutting board and pat dry. Score lightly if desired to allow the marinade to penetrate.
Brush the chicken breast generously with the lemon herb marinade, ensuring an even coat on all sides.
Arrange the seasoned chicken breast on one side of the baking sheet. Toss the asparagus with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out in a single layer on the other side.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken sliced over the roasted asparagus for a delicious, balanced meal.
