INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1 bunch asparagus

1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the baking sheet, tossing them with 0.5 tbsp olive oil and two cloves of minced garlic.

• 3

  Season the chicken breast on both sides with the dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

• 5

  While the chicken is searing, place the asparagus in the oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes until tender yet vibrant.

• 6

  Mince the final clove of garlic and add it to the skillet during the last minute of chicken cooking for extra aroma.

• 7

  Plate the herb-crusted chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and finish with a bright squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
