INGREDIENTS

4.25 oz chicken breast

1.5 cups asparagus

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 cup cherry tomatoes

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a medium bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus and cherry tomatoes with half of the olive oil, half of the sea salt, and half of the black pepper.

• 3

  Mince the garlic clove and rub it onto both sides of the chicken breast along with the dried oregano and the remaining salt and pepper.

• 4

  Heat the remaining olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 5

  Arrange the seasoned asparagus and cherry tomatoes around the chicken in the skillet or transfer everything to the prepared baking sheet if the skillet is too small.

• 6

  Roast in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.

• 7

  Drizzle the fresh lemon juice and sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken and vegetables just before serving to heighten the flavors.
