Lemon-Herb Roasted Chicken Breast with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and fragrant herbs, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a bright and nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 whole lemon
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 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure the herbs stick and the meat sears beautifully.
In a small bowl, mince the garlic and combine it with the lemon zest from the half lemon.
Whisk together 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic-zest mixture, dried thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb oil mixture thoroughly over both sides of the chicken breast and place it on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Arrange the asparagus in a single layer on the other side of the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the roasted chicken and asparagus, then serve immediately over the warm, fluffy quinoa.
