INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz Chicken breast

1.5 cups Asparagus

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp Dried oregano

0.5 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice

1 tsp Lemon zest

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the herbs stick and the meat browns beautifully.

• 3

  In a small glass bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast on one side of the baking sheet and brush it thoroughly with half of the herb and oil mixture.

• 5

  Roast the chicken in the center of the oven for 10 minutes to give it a head start on cooking.

• 6

  While the chicken is roasting, trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and toss them in the remaining herb oil.

• 7

  Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, arrange the asparagus in a single layer next to the chicken, and return to the oven for 12-15 minutes.

• 8

  Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is vibrant, remove from the oven and immediately finish with fresh lemon juice and zest.
