Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with a vibrant lemon-herb marinade and served alongside crisp-tender asparagus and fluffy quinoa.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 cup cooked quinoa
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast and the trimmed asparagus spears onto the prepared baking sheet.
Pour the lemon-herb marinade over the chicken and asparagus, using your hands or a brush to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Roast in the oven for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and slightly browned.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Serve the roasted chicken and asparagus over the warm cooked quinoa for a complete and balanced lunch.
