Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breasts grilled to a juicy finish with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside charred, crisp-tender asparagus spears.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz chicken breast
1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
0.5 tsp dried thyme
2 cloves garlic
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
10 spears asparagus
0.5 medium lemon
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are thoroughly coated; let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly brush the grates with the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the meat is opaque throughout.
During the last 4-5 minutes of grilling the chicken, add the asparagus spears and the lemon half (cut-side down) to the grill, turning the asparagus occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
Remove everything from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the grilled asparagus and a squeeze of the charred lemon.
