Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus for a bright and satisfying meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 cup asparagus
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cloves 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 large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning adheres and the meat sears beautifully.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breast on one side of the prepared sheet pan and brush generously with half of the lemon-herb marinade.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on the other side of the pan along with the cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the remaining marinade over the vegetables and toss gently to coat them evenly.
Roast in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
