INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 cup asparagus

1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp dried oregano

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure the seasoning sticks and the meat roasts rather than steams.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, sea salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and coat it thoroughly with the lemon-herb marinade.

• 5

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears with the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of olive oil and a small pinch of salt.

• 6

  Arrange the asparagus in a single layer around the chicken on the baking sheet.

• 7

  Roast for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices locked inside.
