INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup asparagus

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 clove garlic

0.5 whole lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and wash the asparagus, snapping off the tough, woody ends.

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy sear.

• 3

  In a small bowl, combine the dried thyme, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Season both sides of the chicken breast generously with half of the herb mixture.

• 5

  Heat half of the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

• 6

  Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms, then temporarily remove the chicken from the pan.

• 7

  In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, asparagus, and minced garlic, tossing with the remaining herb mixture.

• 8

  Place the chicken breast back into the skillet on top of the asparagus and transfer the pan to the oven.

• 9

  Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.

• 10

  Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables just before serving for a bright finish.
