INGREDIENTS

4 oz chicken breast

1.5 cup asparagus

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

2 clove garlic

1 tsp fresh rosemary

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel to ensure a golden-brown sear, then season both sides with half the salt, pepper, and finely minced rosemary.

• 3

  Heat half of the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 4

  While the chicken sears, trim the woody ends off the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

• 5

  Transfer the chicken skillet to the oven, or place the chicken directly on the baking sheet with the asparagus.

• 6

  Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the asparagus is tender yet crisp.

• 7

  Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
