1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

1 clove garlic

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to create the marinade.

• 2

  Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it, turning to coat thoroughly.

• 3

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the remaining half of the marinade in a separate bowl.

• 4

  Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

• 5

  Place the chicken on the grill and cook for approximately 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 6

  During the last 5 minutes of the chicken's cooking time, add the asparagus to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly charred.

• 7

  Remove everything from the heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.

• 8

  Plate the sliced chicken alongside the grilled asparagus and serve immediately.
