INGREDIENTS

6 oz chicken breast

1 cup asparagus

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 cloves garlic

0.5 tsp dried thyme

0.5 tsp dried rosemary

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 medium lemon

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure the herb rub creates a beautiful golden crust.

• 3

  In a small bowl, whisk together half of the olive oil, the lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Coat the chicken breast thoroughly with the herb mixture and place it in the center of the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Roast the chicken for 15 minutes to give it a head start on cooking.

• 6

  While the chicken is roasting, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the remaining olive oil.

• 7

  Remove the baking sheet from the oven and arrange the asparagus and lemon slices around the chicken.

• 8

  Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.

• 9

  Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure every bite remains juicy and flavorful.
