INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz chicken breast

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 medium sweet potato

1 cup asparagus

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1 clove garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork; roast on a baking sheet for 45 minutes or until tender.

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast completely dry with paper towels to ensure a high-quality golden-brown sear.

• 3

  In a small ramekin, combine the sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme.

• 4

  Rub the herb seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breast, pressing gently so it adheres.

• 5

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 6 to 7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

• 7

  During the final 3 minutes of the chicken's cooking time, add the minced garlic and asparagus to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables are bright green.

• 8

  Slice the roasted sweet potato and serve it alongside the herb-crusted chicken and sautéed vegetables.
