Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken with Asparagus
Tender chicken breast roasted with a fragrant lemon-herb rub and served alongside crisp-tender asparagus spears for a bright, citrusy finish.
INGREDIENTS
4.25 oz chicken breast
1.5 cups asparagus
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
0.5 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breast on one side of the prepared baking sheet and brush both sides thoroughly with half of the herb mixture.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on the other side of the baking sheet, drizzling with the remaining herb oil.
Toss the asparagus to coat evenly and spread them out in a single layer so they roast rather than steam.
Roast in the center of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain to keep the meat juicy and flavorful.
