Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs, served alongside crisp-tender asparagus spears for a vibrant and nourishing meal.
INGREDIENTS
5.5 oz chicken breast
12 spears asparagus
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 whole lemon
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Trim the woody, fibrous ends off the asparagus spears so they are tender and ready for roasting.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the herb oil mixture over everything, tossing to coat evenly.
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over the chicken and vegetables, then nestle the spent lemon half on the tray for extra aroma.
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 asparagus is lightly charred.
