INGREDIENTS

5.5 oz chicken breast

1.5 cups asparagus spears

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp dried oregano

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.

• 3

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Place the chicken breast and the asparagus spears onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

• 5

  Drizzle the lemon-herb marinade over both the chicken and the asparagus, using your hands or a brush to ensure everything is evenly coated.

• 6

  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 tender yet slightly charred.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute for a moist finish.
