Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and fragrant rosemary, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa for a vibrant, wholesome meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh rosemary
1 tsp fresh thyme
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 bunch asparagus
0.5 cup cooked quinoa
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely mince the garlic and roughly chop the fresh rosemary and thyme.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine half of the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and half of the salt and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture evenly 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. Toss the spears with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them in a single layer on the other side of the baking sheet.
Slice the half lemon into thin rounds and tuck them around the chicken and asparagus.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately over the warm, fluffy quinoa.
